It has been 8 weeks since the knock. I will be moving out in 2 weeks time. I decided on the day it is what I was going to do and I haven't changed my mind. I will be there for support but that is all. Time has healed a bit of how this has made me feel but I am still very sad and shocked. I try not to let it rule my everyday thoughts but my life has changed so much through all of this. I feel sad for him but I can't let it affect my future.

I hope to live a relatively normal life one day but for now it's just one day at a time.

Just felt like a vent really.

Barb,

Wishing you all the very best for a bright (and normal!) future. I'm sure it feels scary, but having made your decision, you just have to take one step at a time.

The important thing in this situation is to do what is best for you first, then you are free to choose to support, not support, or walk away completely, what ever feels right to you.

Thank you I agree it is in my everyday thoughts. It will probably never go. It's made me very paranoid with my grandkids and keep telling my kids to watch them every second. I hate being like this and I know it will fade one day.

What a horrible way to be but I can't help it.

Barb I hear you, I feel like in a lot of ways I have lost my own innocence, if you know what I mean. I know see many things now in a totally different way, and I wish I didn't.

Barb, how did things work out with SS and your grandchildren? I remember you saying you were leaving your partner because of your children and grandchildren. Asking as a potential grandparent.
