By sort of I mean I've known her a long time, 22 years or so but haven't spoken the past 14 of those. As most of you know, my eldest son (from a previous relationship) sadly took his own life a week before Xmas. Since then myself and his Mum have been in touch to help and support each other however we can. She is currently going through a divorce too from her split around 2 and a half years ago.
During these discussions a lot of good memories were bought up and feelings came back for each other. We sort of got back together about a month or so ago and while it's a bit surreal, it feels right. We have chatted a lot to try and make sure it's not past feelings causing this and make sure it's something we both want to happen. We're both certain it's new feelings and it all seems to be going well. We are both completely aware it's still early in the relationship and anything can change, but we're both really happy.
I'm under no illusion though it will all be plain sailing, I will still likely have emotional and mental difficulties which will happen as and when. She's already been there for me a lot since my Mum passed away last month. But we've agreed to keep helping each other through the difficult parts and be there for each other.
Lots more harrowing stuff has been found out lately which have really turned my stomach and have literally made me feel worse than I ever have done, but that's not what this thread is about. After over 3 years of pretty much constant grief, dread and overall heartache I'm hoping this is the start of a new and happier time ahead for us all.
Thought it was about time for a happier post from me for a change.
I sincerely hope whatever happens for you in the days, weeks, years to come...that they are happy time. You really do deserve a big dose (of happiness)
Mate, you've had an awful time in recent years. Grab any opportunity for you and the family to be happy
Great to hear. Hope things start turning around for you.
After all you have been through I am sure everyone (obviously including me) wish you every chance at some happy times.
Delighted to hear good news for you.
That's good news big man.
As my grandpa always said, 'on<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">wards and upwards...'</span>
If anyone deserves some happiness, it's you. Take things steady, eyes wide open, enjoy the feeling.
Live for the moment. Take each day as it comes. Don't dwell on the past and don't worry about the future.
Good luck.
Brought a tear to my eye that. I don't know you at all but I sincerely wish you all the best. Nice one. 🙂
congratulations. i hope it’s the beginning of happy times.
i’ve not read your other threads as i felt i didn’t “know” you (or anyone on here) well enough to be comfortable doing so, but remember to look after yourself and watch for signs, etc.
in the meantime, enjoy being close to someone and have some fun.
Excellent news. Ernie has hit it spot on there, enjoy every moment you can and live for now.
Brilliant! Take it steady and I hope it goes well for you all.
PS: A little dusty here.
I’m hoping this is the start of a new and happier time ahead for us all.
And the rest of STW are right behind you! Good news!
I’m so really pleased that life has at last dealt you a good hand. It’s great news!!
