i can talk about about the ten bigesst mistakes i made in my life and talk for hours about them with ....people that are really talking when the real talking starts ! ...in fact i can go even further as i have done on many of my threads...to then find that the people who challenge me to do so then disapear with nothing to say for themselves ...because they had nothing to say about themself in the first place !!! ..but just wanted to think and talk above ( or think they're thinking and talking people )!

Hmmm.. I've been thinking about this.. I can only think of one..
One that had I done it differently would have completely changed my life and my children's lives.. because even now the knock on effect and the ghostly leftovers of it all are STILL running.
and I know it's perhaps cliché, but it was taking back my husband .. after I had FINALLY got him to leave the first time.
My children were so tiny then.. that they would have forgotten almost everything that happened. Infact.. most of it wouldn't have even happened at all if I had kept him out then. So we wouldn't have ended up with (still) years of counselling.. 3 damaged children .. and £50 grand ($100 grand) debt (from his gambling)..
and my children would have grown up to be much more healthy and happy.
All those wasted years. That's the point I would turn the clock back to.

And the answer to the question was...... out of the ten you are willing to offer, let's start with three! Start the Real Talk!

THAT was/is my biggest mistake. Helloooooooo Gilly
PART 2
"ITS GREAT TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE PULSE OF THE GRASS ROOTS "
another oneliner i got from the film ' uptown saturday night "
( just means nice talking to people with their feet on the ground )!
by the way has your feet ever left the ground ?...cos thats another mistake that i made in my life ... that will happened again ! ( i'll tell you the story behind that ...why it happened...and what i learnt from that another time !
because my mother taught me something very important after my world crumbled back then !
anyway your kids father sound slike he was nightmare to live with !
1....when did all this gambling start then ? ..and what did he use to gamble on ?
2. did you use to gamble as well ?
3. how did he get on with the kids before things started going wrong ?
4. do the kids still like him ?
5. how did it screw up the kids then ?
6. why did you decide to take him back ?...did you still love him ?
7. another one of my biggest mistakes in life was turning back to ' get my kid ' thinking
" OH WELL THE RELATIONHIP IS OVER BUT NOBODIES GONNA STOP ME BEING A FATHER TO THE KID "
that was one huge mistake girl !!!
8. another mistake was thinking that my son would end up being and thinking like me !
9.do your kids think like you or like their father ?
10. mind you one thing good that i like about my son is that he wears his heart on his sleeve ...and you always know where he's coming from ...which is always better than having to listen to 'plaxtic people '
