Awwwww thanks ajm and BrightFuture, idk where my head has been lately, I need to get my focus back.

I went to work this morning to be told they have let their cleaner go,so I have been offered a job until I find full time. Helps pay the rent so happy.

Chatted to a couple girlfriends on WhatsApp, they gave me pep talks, reminding me how loved I am and how far I have come. Wish they were closer, they are all gd for a drunken night out and hugs!!

I know I will be fine; the little sparkle I found while I was away is still alight, it just got hidden, I know it will return.

Thanks to everyone who is supporting me through this, I am so grateful to you all. I hope one day I will be able to offer advice to another LBS who finds themselves here - showing them they can and will survive and life will be good - maybe even better :o)

So until the next time he contacts and messes with my head, my focus remains on my boys, deciding on what I want to do in the future -
