He just upped and left one morning…

Hi Rosie,

I hope you don’t mind me messaging you. I’ve found your book a massive help and so true. I could relate with everything. My husband had an affair and ran up a lot of debt. We split 5 years ago but it still hurts. My children don’t want anything to do with him, which is hard when I’m a single mum. I did meet someone a year after we split, and was with him until last year, but he just upped and left one morning. It took me a long time to trust him. My dad wasn’t well with dementia at the time ,and I had to leave a job I loved to look after him, and ultimately get him into a care home. It meant there was no time for myself and partner, and my teenage kids were giving me a hard time. I’ve always been a bit of a fighter and love life, and I just want to get back to that. Also I’d like to meet someone one day. Just not now. I just wonder how easy it’ll be to open my heart and trust someone again. I feel quite guarded at the moment, but I don’t want to be like that for the rest of my life.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks,
