I am going through an incredibly difficult time in my personal life. Something that I would not wish on a soul. I'm not able to discuss it with anybody. The only person who knew was my partner who I haven't seen since the knock. Monday will be a traumatic day for me. I have never needed him so much as I do today. I'm at a loss. He is unable to contact me as part of his bail conditions. I have heard nothing. I need him so much today. No point to my post. Just hoped others on here would understand. Love to everyone who is going through this. I wish you all well, strength and future happiness.

Thank you Poster. Your reply means a lot. I will focus on Tuesday.

I haven't been on here much as I flooded the forum post knock and felt a bit ashamed. I hope others have been able to gain the same support I have from here.

Love to all.

Partner - NEVER feel ashamed for posting on here. Even if you tell one of us go f*** off, Iam sure we would understand you were just having a shitty day (that last bit was meant to make you laugh - hope it raised a smile).



Sounds like Monday will be a crap day for you. It is a day and it will pass. And another day will come in it’s place. Are you able to buy yourself something nice to eat or wear or rent a film on Amazon or Netflix or something for that day. Or go on a nice walk. Do yoga. Get a meditation app (the Sam Harris one is good and first 5 sessions are free ). Or call the helpline on Monday. Something, anything, to get you through xx

Big Sigh,

Thank you. Yes it raised a smile :).

I've done the next best thing and upgraded a holiday I'd booked for my children and I for next year. Ridiculously expensive with huge monthly repayments but I'll manage. It'll be worth it to see their faces (including the moody teenage ones haha). Until then I'm filling my time looking at trip advisor reviews and getting excited.

Monday will be one of the toughest days of my life. However it is unavoidable. By lunchtime it should all be over. Not long until then now.

I have people around me but nobody knows. About Monday, or my ex. Least of all my babies. Who are away this weekend with their Dad.

I keep reminding myself that we are all so lucky to have our health and that is the most important thing. I just miss my ex. So much. The good times we shared. Our future plans. Now I'm lonely. Wondering whether our entire relationship was a lie based on a need to be near my beautiful daughter. The not knowing is incredibly hard. But we are all in the same boat.

On a speed awareness course tomorrow. My first ever oh dear. And last I hope. That should, at least keep my mind occupied. I was only going 6 over in a 30 zone which I believed was 40. My ex laughed so much as I'm the most cautious driver ever. I was, in fact, going too slowly in the zone I believed I was in. Oh dear. Not to worry.

I hope whoever reads this is enjoying their weekends. As much as possible.

:).

Partner I don't have many words of wisdom for you I'm afraid but all I can say is you've gotten this far, and you'll get past Monday as well. Make Tuesday your day to do whatever you need to feel better. You deserve it. The holiday also sounds wonderful x

I have done a Speed Awareness Course and it was fine - nothing to worry about. They take the attitude that you were only just breaking the speed limit because people going very fast do not have the option of the course. The teacher was supportive. It was more like a discussion group. No test or anything, as long as you listen and engage with the session it will be fine. The important thing is not to be late. If you are late it is taken as an indication that you are not taking it seriously and they can turn you away.

Good luck!

Hi,

Just take everything a day at a time. I try not to look to far ahead just focus on the next hurdle. Am sorry you are in a similar crappy situation as the rest of us. I am sure you will find support here.
