Suzy,
What a great story and inspiration to all of us finding ourselves in this situation. I had been married for 12 years, had a gorgeous 8 year old daughter. A few months ago I discovered he was having an affair with my, and I now use the term loosely “best friend”. Double wammy. We are now separated, and beginning the long journey of divorce. I’m not sure games of pool will ever be on the cards for us, I might do far too much damage with the cue! Children are definately what makes it harder, but also what has kept me off the kitchen floor screaming “why”! Uniforms to wash and dinner to prepare. Onwards and upwards. Ally xx

It takes great faith when you are in the midst of it all to believe that things can ever be better, but positive support is essential. I am putting together an online resource site to provide information and ideas of ways to start over: check out http://www.sos-village.org. Personal stories and resource suggestions are welcomed.
