The Year From Hell

I have been missing in action for quite a while.  Miss me anyone?

I have been facing the demons in my life and there was one that really needed some hard work to get rid of... he's gone now.

This year my relationship of 13 years ended.  My husband turned out to be less than the ideal man to be sharing my life and trust with. He cheated on me, broke unimaginable boundaries and emotionally scarred me for life. 

That is over. I have taken the year to look at the situation... fight my battles and make my life plans....

At the start of October I moved my children from North Canterbury to Tauranga... where I am forging a new path for us and have been accepted into the Bachelor of Nursing at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic, starting at the end of January next year.

My kids are settled and doing well.

I am facing each day as it comes and trying to find my way in life as a single mum of four, not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination.  There is still combined debt from the relationship, we had no home, no assets...

I have moved with $1000 in my pocket and, with the help of very great friends, have started to rebuild my life.  We don't have much but we have each other and we have a positive way forward without a narcissistic man controlling our lives.

I hope you all come back and join me on my new path....

And anyone interested in my health and fitness struggles and can come and join me at Destination Goddess where I am about to make some big changes....

wow, Jules, what a huge year you have had. I am really sorry to hear you have had such a rough year and certainly know what its like to have a relationship end and what it feels like to pick up the pieces and start to rebuild.
Tauranga is a beautiful place and I hope you are settling in well and finding your feet. I moved to Tauranga at the end of 2007 when my relationship in Auckland ended and love it in the Bay. (although today is not the greatest start to the first Monday of summer). If you ever need any help please ask, I have been where you are and am only a message away if you need anything.

Happy New Year.

My New Year's wish includes you. I wish for the best things in life for you and your children, honey.

Set your feet on the ground firmly, shoulders back, tilt your head upward...and nudge the sky.

I see good things going your way...

I don't know what to say. I have struggled with the same decision you have recently made. So are you not going to write here anymore in the future, or are you going to maintain 2 blogs? I see you've changed your email address because your old one bounced back. Happy New Year, Jules! I hope this is a better one.

women of course can’t be expected to care for it. Surely it should come out before the “Bow,” which is such a flukey thing, whereas, whatever reviews and people may say, “Eric” is full of the best qualities of poetic [? word doubtful] fiction.
