All Over Red Rover

Now that everything is done & dusted, & I am ok, I feel like I should let you in on what's been happening over the last 6 months.


It starts at the end and reads backwards... The posts are almost daily - since April.

Comments have been deactivated and pictures removed for obvious reasons.

It has been a really interesting experience. I am quite proud of myself for getting out of it alive, with my sanity & my dignity.

I hope you can appreciate the affect this has had on me and excuse me if my posts are absent or somewhat lacking for a while. The whole process has drained my creativity and inspiration. I'll be back to my normal random self before you know it - just have to re-establish my groove.


Your support over these past months has been invaluable & I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your comments always make my day.

I guess there's not really much that is constructive I can say apart from I am really sorry. You are such a strong and amazing woman, and I know you will just use this experience to go on to bigger and better things.

Oh, Bambola,
you are such a strong spirit,
and I am really sorry this happened to you. You should be proud, because most of us probably wouldn't have the strength to get through something like this.
I haven't finished reading it all through,
but I will this coming weekend,
or perhaps tonight :)

All my love,
x

Wow, girl. What an intense and difficult time. I really hope you're feeling a bit better each day.
That must have been SO hard. I don't think I would have had the strength to even try and I'm the girl whose hubby has been flying in and out of our home for years!
You deserve a guy who is right there with you - yet if you were to be pulled apart he would travel the ends of the earth for you, much less pick up the phone and make himself some damn big phone bills! If I've learnt anything from spending time apart from my loved one, it's that it should be easier than that. I know I'm lucky my hubby is always going to come home eventually, but I can relate a little to the insecurity because when you're apart, that communication on the phone etc is all you have and without that it gets scary. It IS your relationship for that period and it's so important that both camps keep it up. I get ya, girl.
You deserve so much better x

PS I was so absorbed I read all that in one sitting!!

Wow, I just read the whole thing, beginning to end. You have a beautiful way with words.
I'm not even sure what to say.
I hope you're ok & with time you can look back over this & not feel angry & hurt.
Sending you the biggest cuddles xx

oh wow - what an experience to go through. The highs were really high, but the lows were really low. I just have to say that that last thing he wrote to you just showed how much he didn't understand how to make the relationship work, and he never should have said such hurtful things to you.
My heart goes out to you - thank you for sharing.

Janice said...

Wow girl, you are so strong. You deserve so much better, and I'm sure everything will get better. I'm sorry this happened. Stay strong ♥

Oh that's so sad, but well done for turning a bad experience into something so creative and inspiring to others who would have gone through a similar experience!

Oh and I'm just letting everyone in my blogroll know that I'm running a competition (just giving you guys a heads-up as a thank you for entertaining me during the last few months in work!!!): http://chicknamedhermia.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/surprise/

:( im so sad for you :( the fact that you opened up to and cared so strongly for someone who just used you like that. Soon enough you'l realize how much better off you are with out them. And thanks for putting what you were going through into words, it will undoubtedly help other people who are going through (past/present/future) struggles. Definitely shows your strength of character.

Trust me, you'll come out of it all stronger than ever :) Hope you start that part very soon.

lots of love x x x
