Hi V. Thanks for checking in. Life goes on As time passes I think I'm putting up walls to protect myself so I'm not going to be hurt again.

I read the newcomers on here and I remember the terrible pain that I was in and I couldn't expose myself to that again

W seems to be struggling along and has been coming forward but my reaction seems to be shutting her down as soon as she starts to open up. I realise it's the fear of being hurt again and I have accepted that while I would love her back with the family but it's not to be.

D14 very down so I'm taking her to I/C tomorrow. D11 had her hair cut to shoulder length and she looks amazing

S17 very quiet of late so keeping an eye on him

S20 is good

Business ok if it wasn't for pesky cash flow and my extravagant spending habits !!

I do realise that I will be happy one day it's just hard to visualise that day at the moment

Take care. Rd xx
