Agreed - no letters. I wrote a letter, right at the start. It said, from what I remember 'I will always welcome you back with open arms'. What a knob! That gave her carte blanche to carry on treating me like sh1t. Don't write it down, apart from on here.

Holidays will be difficult with you on your own. I think going abroad might be too much, so, as Sotto says, why not try Centerparks (you guys in the US - it's centre!). Yeah, it's a bit pricy, but there is so much to do and you can just unwind in one of the lodges if that suits, with no one to march you off to breakfast etc. and the swimming pools are great. I think your nearest is in Sherwood Forest, but the one in the Lakes gets a good write up to.

Hang in there man, but you really have got to exit the stress for a while. You know that's right, right?
