A big thanks

Hi, I have experienced a revelation today, and once again, must share with you all. My little boy told me he didn't want to go to daddy's, which he is saying more frequently. When I got to the bottom of it, it seems he caught daddy and the 'other' having sex and is confused. At 4 years old he has very accutely worked out that daddy is a liar (his words), as daddy insists that for the last 3 1/2 years, he and the 'other' have been living together as only very good friends. I feel confident to help my son through this. But more importantly I am not hurting, this is a huge improvement and I NEVER thought I'd get here. These 3 1/2 years have been so painful, I can not put them into words. I used to read articles and comments on this site and I never thought I would be at this place now. So a big thanks to Kate and Emily and everyone who has helped me along the way. It was so important that when faced with utter disaster and that was indeed what it was, I had somewhere to look to..from advice on finance to how to cope with a betraying ex who crushed me. I also can't recommend enough a councillor, it was amazing how much improvement could be made from one hour a week for six weeks. I now know that I am a great person and everything else just seems to fall into place after that. Here's to the future and thank you....x

Thanks so much for your posting , I do think we sometimes speed past those first difficult phases when we write our articles, probably because they seem so long ago . However everytime I feel the rawness of a new single parent I do think that I must address this phase a bit more so that rather than people understandably feeling "I will never get out of the other side" there is a bit more of a road map .

Well done and heres to you and your families future
