Hi Pink, sorry to hear that about your Mum. It's hard when that happens. My Dad has always seemed pretty supportive of H, but I think he would just like to see me move on now. You can understand it, and they get tired of seeing you hurting. But it's your M and you can only do what's right for you.

In a way, I don't even see standing as being about H any more. I'm not actually sure I want him back - certainly not new horrid him. It's more about doing it for me. Not bailing out of my M too soon when things got really rough. I think we will find peace through doing this and in a way it is an act of self love too.

I agree with RD about your H and the kids. I too believe he isn't thinking straight and that your sitch has a few twists and turns to take yet. But worry not, I'll be coming over soon to drive around town and sing a few songs in the car with you...

Take care lovely P!!
