Hi,

One of those occasional visits - you know the selfish one asking for your thoughts and prayers without participating frown

I am not going to pretend that life is easy - hasn't been for a while.

However my life has altered somewhat over the last month or two, just before I was about to give up.

I split from my wife about a 15 months ago, as I could no longer stand the situation.

Anyway 6 weeks ago my daughter (11) turned up on my doorstep asking to live with me, as she hated being with her mum frown

My younger son (9) followed the same evening. I had just got back from a weeks holiday!!

They both have a lot of problems, and I did not realise how bad a time they had been having, whilst I was not there.

I am now at the stage where we start our first of several court hearings to decide the future of the children and everything else from the marriage.

I am working hard with the children, but as a single parent feel very much on my own. I discover new problems daily as to how they have been treated, which resulted in them not attending school etc. and behaving in strange ways.

I am sure I am still not at the bottom of the problems and things will get even worse before they get better.

This has totally changed my life and the time that I have to run my own business and work on websites etc.

I am also disabled with ME/CFS so get mentally and physically drained at times.

However I am determined to fight for the children and to help them in every way that I can.

Sadly as is often the case, the other side are using every tactic available to them to try and win both the divorce and the custody - which means things are getting dirty frown

If you think there is too much info in this post - please feel free to edit it.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and thoughts - it is so easy to wish to give up - however for now I have a very good reason to fight on. If I loose then that is a totally different matter & it will be a no-brainer!
