Awake and up all night

i dont know where the time goes gill. i couldnt work because i had a breakdown and bad osteoarthritis but i brought them up on my own. my ex buggered off to blackpool and we never sa him again. not a penny in maintenance.

I just read your post re: where do the years go, then there was a clap of thunder . xxx

Well the rotten sod lass! Hey, my ex tried it on too but I was far too smart and got him over a barrel. He'd no option but to pay maintenance but the second they left school, he didn't pay for anything, hence the reason why I had to keep ramping up the jobs. By doing that I wasn't entitled to benefits so it was swings and roundabouts. I didn't care as I knew I could do it, but I wouldn't want to go back to those times. You probably feel the same way hon xxx

I'm consumed with envy, Ray. I love thunder but all we've got are showers  xxx

yes i do feel the same gill. you worked hard to bring up your children. that deseves alot of credit. i am fumiing now about joe cancer when there are genuine folk on here who are really struggling.

Spooky. That post resulted in a stronger roll of thunder and now lightning and some hail. Did you get the coordinates wrong when doing your thunder dance? xxx

I was a single parent too. My ex had an affair when my boys were 9 and 11 he paid maintenance until they left school but I had to start a new career to pay the bills. It was incredibly hard but I wanted to keep my house so they didn’t have the upheaval of moving xxx

Don’t let him get to you Soc he’s the one who will have to struggling his conscience xxx don’t waste your energy 

So am I Sonia, and you're spot on about genuine folk.

I did snort at your post though - it's the way you write and it really tickles me. Don't you ever change sweetheart, you cheer me up just by being yourself xxx

thank you lin. i just dont know how anyone can turn their back on their own kids. he is the one who has lost out on all the love i have had from my son and daughter.
