Re: Long time away but update on things....

[Guest guest]

Hi Cheryl,

Yeah what I went through was pretty vile. It was made worse when I found

out he had filtered away all my savings (a substantial amount of money)

However it is a chapter of my life now firmly over.

It isn't easy to overcome things like that, however like my daughter

said to me., I have always been the sort of person that bounces back and

although this was a major drama she was right, after a while you fight back.

I found in life when you get pain etc that you have two choices. One is

to sit there and feel sorry for yourself which is so easy to do. The other

is to fight like mad & make life yours again. My daughter is an amazing

young lady who put her life on hold to help me get back on my feet. She

still has a way to go with getting better herself now. but she told me

that after seeing me keep fighting she doesn't know how to give in. With

what is wrong with her I am glad that she has this frame of mind.

I was told by my new specialist that I will likely lose the use of my

left arm however, there is no time frame on this, it's just a likely

outcome from what is wrong. Its ok though as I treat that the same as

everything else. It hasn't happened yet hence I fight it.

I think that is what we all have to do is keep fighting.

My offer though is that if anyone goes through something terrible in

their life and need to talk to someone who has also been there & come out

the other side I am here and happy to listen. Without people like you on

this list when I found out what was happening in my ex's mind I don't

think I would have made it through the night. So now I want to make

myself available to anyone needing help.

Alison,

I believe that you being there for your daughter and vice versa is going to be a

great factor in her recovery. I am so glad you are there to cheer her on and I

am glad that you have that purpose to keep you going and I believe it will make

a great difference in her recovery and yours.

Keep that positive focus and your are in our prayers.
