Author MrE_UK Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well, I took the kids back most of the way on the train yesterday - 2.5 hours there, and same again back. Wife paid for it both times! Strange but she's trying to get me to see the kids and helping, which is a nice gesture seeing that she left me penniless I guess. Might help her feel less guilty perhaps. She texts and calls every day still. This morning's session was about my 7 year old and some issues the wife is having. She managed to have a go at me though...accused me of talking over her and she ordered me to listen to her feelings! Get that!! Just replied that I am listening and I understand. I phoned my daughter and talked to her, which seemed to ease the situation somewhat. Turns out the wife has been very stressed and not coping well with the kids and balancing a new life, with work, social events, and other things. Boo hoo!!! Her choice. Now I used to work at home, look after youngest daughter all day 5 days a week, do the shopping, tidy, bath/shower kids, try and deal with our depleting finances, etc.,. She has to do all that now, and work, by herself. It's not easy... I mentioned Divorce the other day and had my head chewed off for most of the day. She kept on saying about how she isn't to blame and is worried about the reason reflecting badly on her. She also threatened to say bad things about me if I filed. This is getting a little nutty for my liking...she really didn't want me to file for divorce. Also, if I see anyone else there will be consequences apparently. i.e. She says we'll be done for good. She also said that when I tried to talk about this situation - so, won't mention it again. She also asks if I've started smoking again as she says would be a waste of money and take the mick out of her after she paid for the train fares - I haven't. She said it sounded like I was smoking - I was in bed!!!! As for me, plodding along, looking for work all the time, chatting to people, finding that inner self-esteem and trying to enjoy life. trying to make new friends too.

Misadventure Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Have been busy sorting my things, applying for work and reading. I finished my non-fiction book proposal (41 pages and 14,000 words) and have sent to agents...one said interested and is considering me! Fingers crossed!! The book is about a hobby of mine and there isn't a book about what I've written to help beginners, so, worth a punt as they say. Grats! I know how hard it is myself. I have been sending queries. It's hard to get an agent so later tell me your magic yoda trick. As for me, plodding along, looking for work all the time, chatting to people, finding that inner self-esteem and trying to enjoy life. trying to make new friends too. It sounds like you are doing good. I wish I can get to that point one day and learn to be happy again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author MrE_UK Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Grats! I know how hard it is myself. I have been sending queries. It's hard to get an agent so later tell me your magic yoda trick. It sounds like you are doing good. I wish I can get to that point one day and learn to be happy again. I hope I will find an agent. I need a project! Am waiting patiently... I still have ups and downs, but try to be positive. She doesn't make it any easier with games. I'm not into all that politics, games, control rubbish. I have no idea what she's up to!! Just odd. I hope you find some happiness soon. It can be so lonely at times, but so exciting at others. Anything's possible now... Link to post Share on other sites
