Off Topic Moving on with life...

As many of you know on here i was in a pretty bad place this time last year after seperating from my wife and having to live in a seperate house to my twin boys who are 5 50% of the time.
The fact me and my wifes marriage had ended didnt effect me one bit. I had no feelings for her anymore whatsoever but after practically bringing the boys up on my own doing all the things mothers usually do aswell as working 50 hours a week myself ie, mother and toddler groups etc because of my ex wifes lack of motherly instincts and ambition to get promoted at work.

It hit me like a thunderbolt not being with them 24/7 anymore and the silence in my new house was deafening when they werent around. Its fair to say as a 39 year old i hit rock bottom thinking thats it im on my own now. If it wasnt for my boys i may have done something id regret.

On the plus side and my reason for writing this thread is i have just sold my house today after only living in it 13 months and me and my new partner who is 10 years younger than me are buying our own family pad in Darlo for us, my boys and her daughter.
Ive learnt a big lesson in life, whenever you think your at rock bottom and and life has no way of turning itself back round to a reasonable level of happiness, just keep fighting and in the end all good people will get what they deserve. Ive also learnt who the people who are close to me are and who was there for me through thick and thin. Its been a massive learning curve for me and ive deleted about 50% of the people that couldnt even be ar$ed to send a single text out of my life. As the saying goes, you find out the people that care when bad times hit. Even people that youve supported in life at some point let you down when you need the favour returning.

Sorry if this bores you but i couldn't give a single feck. Im 40 now and i have a great feeling my best years in life are ahead of me so as usual im using this forum to vent.

Have a great weekend chaps and chapesses xxxx

 

Welcome to the neighbourhood mate

 

Haha thanks mate .

 

Good on ya,

 

Thanks mate.

 

I seem to recall that you're punching above your weight more than Tyson Fury's opponent tonight.

Good on you

 

Look forward to another catch up marra... this time in Darlo

Glad all is going well for you

 

True story.

 

Thanks mate. Hope to see you again soon.

 

To quote Brian Clough....

Well done Young Man

 

You're not boring me mate. Love to hear people are doing well. And if writing your story again inspires just one person to look up instead of down then good on you. Spread the love !

 

It doesn't bore me at all, I'm 66 years young and have seen and experienced many things, plumbed some depths - different ones but still depths. One thing I would say is that when it gets though that's when you learn who your true friends are. Great to know you are well out of the woods now, onwards and upwards as they say

 

I don't post much on here Tees, but I do follow and I'm aware of your troubles and the fact that you were at rock bottom not too long ago. It's good to see that your back on an even keel and things are looking up, and if that's a pic of your new lady, you're a lucky bustard. stay safe and good luck with the new relationship

 

Yes mate id like to think i can inspire at least 1 person if not now but in a year

Thankyou very much mate x

 

Delighted for you fella - hope the upside keeps swinging for you, your new partner and especially the twins.

 

Thankyou mate.

 

It is good to read stuff like this. We've all been with you mate over the past few years. Best wishes for your next steps in life.

 

Thanks mate

 

Pleased for you mate
Enjoy your family
Good luck for the future

 

Always like happy every after stories. Well done mate for hanging in there and making your kids the priority. Karma has looked after you. Best wishes for the future...
