I am sat in the airport waiting to board my flight back to NZ, so this post is going to be the end of Chapter 2 and I will start a new thread Chapter 3.

Chapter 2 has been a real adventure and I have learnt so much about myself, grown and although my path is a very wobbly one, I feel that I am at last moving in a forwards direction.

I am so grateful and humbled to have so many beautiful friends around me that have cared, loved and supported me through this period of my life.

I have had an amazing trip and now feel like I have two homes, so will be making visiting both my homes regularly a mission.

So update on the family - S18 - after a turbulent couple of weeks s18 decided he was getting on a plane to me, so I had to tell him I was coming to him; the relief on his face was a picture and he is so happy. He has asked if I would move back to him and get a place together (awww bless) so absolutely agreed to this - he needs some stability and veggies lol.

S21 has had the most interesting time - he and h fell out, big blow up and it all came out. S21 told his d that both he and s18 hate ow and my h replied "well thats ok as she doesn't like you either" !! S21 said a lot was said, but after they calmed down they had a long talk. S21 then contacted S18 to warn him that d may contact him about everything he said.

On top of that it turns out that ow has moved her kids in to the house and as soon as she started contributing to the rent she moved S21 out into a rented cabin thats been put on their driveway?? I am so disappointed in h, both our boys have expressed their concern for him, said he has changed and he can go [cant repeat it]

Its gets better - S21 then said that he can't see ow lasting much longer, she is a smoker (which h absolutely cant stand), he told her she has to give up and she agreed but he keeps catching her having a sneaky one which has lead to a few arguments. Then - are you ready for a chuckle, because I laughed so hard I nearly pee'ed myself - So she is a snorer (and he cant stand noise at night, needs his sleep), she is also on a machine at night for sleep apnea, oh the romance and passion of it all ha ha. H is now on sleeping tablets and sleeps in her son's room when he is away staying with his dad.
S21 said he walks around like a zombie, looks shattered and now comes in from work and takes the dogs out for a very long walk ....alone or with s21 ...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha sorry ha ha ha ha ha

Oh this made my day, so his happy shiney life is starting to dull,and my life is starting to become sunny.

I don't know where this is all going for him, but in a harsh way I am teeny bit pleased its not going all that well - as you can see. meowwwwww

Chapter 3 starts off in a good place. Whatever it brings I know I will be fine, something is always around the corner - and I will deal with it as it comes.

Next stop,car,home and job and giving my boys a stable and happy mum to lean on.

Hope everyone is doing well - I have been away from the boards for a few weeks - having way too much fun :o)

Oh and any Harry Potter Fans - if you are ever in UK you got to go to the Harry Potter Studios, its absolutely brilliant and best bit was I got to ride a broomstick ...for real .. and have a dvd movie as evidence ...so coooool.
