hi stoole1971 !
you sound like an genuine person / hows it going mate ?
it all stred happening for me when i 32 and lefted a secure job after 12 years solid emplyment was going through a devorce type thing ..and at the same time travelling abroad with a new woman !...who was tooo respectable
Similar story here, married the women who I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, to beautiful children later... and you guessed it, not the best divorce in the world... I fell to pieces... really quite badly... couldn't concentrate on work... met up with the wrong sort of people... my own fault..wood for trees and all that...
Stopped seeing my kids, couldn't handle how superb my ex-wife was doing in bringing them up... made me feel worse...
I had to sort my life out and decided to get away from so-called mates, my family living some distance away were driving me mad...
I took a job in Portugal and I am now living in Spain... desperately missing my kids...and If I'm honest my ex wife (we grew apart... don't know why.. but thats life)
New Year, new start.... I want to get Christmas and New Year out of the way... Then I-ll discover what I'm really made of...

yeah i know what you stu ....i'm looking forwaard to hearing the full story ...when you're ready
you know they say that it takes the average person 5 years to get over the break up of a long term serious relationship ....mine took longer than that because i decided to go back for the kid and got involved in in endless court cases fighting to be a father to the child ....which almost destroyed me !
his mother is dead now ...and he's now upstairs in his bedroom sleeping as i'm typing !
but for you to understand it i would have to tell you the story from the beginning ( my sons mother's parents always got back together by fighting in and out of court over the children ....which greatly affected her ...so she did the same thing to her son )!
RICH ISN'T IT
AND IT WAS'NT EVEN AS SIMPLE AS THAT EITHER
i'll explain the full story on the tell us your life story thread once i've explained the build up to it all !
I think leaving Cornwall, UK for a year has really helped... I feel stronger in mind and soul
Its amazing how much I took life for granted... I will make it up to my Children and my ex-wife, I don't want to go backwards, but at the end of the day we're still a family... and its important for me to get back into my Daughter and Sons life... regardless of the squabbling...
At one stage I felt like the ex, her family and her friends were all against me... I couldn't handle it, so rather than making matters worse for everyone... I left the country
Some people may disagree with my actions... but to be in that situation is very very difficult and react to
I discover who I really am every day. Because nothing is static including us and our minds.
With each day come new experiences and furthur enlightenment about when and how of the past so that's why "xyz" ...... helps to understand the whens and hows and whys of our present and the decisions we make about our future
