I went to a shop this morning and my card was declined. I can sort it out but it was just one more thing on top of everything else. Got home and then in tears.

W has lied so much to me, the police, courts, friends and relatives, tries to turn the kids against me etc. all because I had been depressed when a parent died, so earning less money and I told W her abuse was no longer acceptable to me. I thought she was the love of my life, my soul-mate, my best friend etc. I deserve far better than this.
