Ladies - This is a wonderful thread. It really is inspirational to read and had me in tears when I had finished it as you have both come so far. Although I am happily married, I have in the past had a relationship that ended badly (due to abuse and cheating) at the time I thought my world had ended and that was only after a year so I cannot begin to imagine how hard it must have been for you after several years and children. To see you both triumph over these men is fantastic and if I ever come across any woman who thinks that life is over following a break up, I will point them in the direction of this thread.

Continue to post here lovely ladies as I am waiting with anticipation of the posts that tell us all how wonderful your lives are now that you are truly 'independant women'

Go girls!!!
