Something I've just realised... I was very independent before I met W. She was living with her parents. I somehow ended-up feeling like I was her parent doing almost everything at home myself and I was getting fed-up with her emotional immaturity dealing with any issues. W has left to go back to living with her parents and I've become independent once more.

I have been taking action in many ways - lost a lot of weight, exercise, look better, getting jobs done at home that had been a source of conflict etc.

In the last few days I've built a little bridge with MiL (who wants us to split and now lives with W). Yesterday, I took the kids out on my own for the first time and had a great day of fun. W even came into the house for an hour (despite having sent a legal letter to say she never would) - and I was blase about it.

Next, I'm going to treat myself to a couple of purchases, take a trip to stay with a great friend that I've not seen for years, and I want a holiday on my own with the kids.
