Hi all, thought I would give an update!

So, the (now ex) moved out after Christmas. I won't lie chaps it nearly broke me. Hit the booze and some drugs for a while. Bad times. Hit bottom and kept going. Decided I needed to have a word with myself.

Then.

Then I started smashing the gym really hard. It was an epiphany. I've lost nearly all my fat and now have actual real man muscles. Lifts! Presses! Squats! Squats are great 🙂 Boosted my confidence no end!

We're now friends; I've forgiven her for whatever it was she did, it's water under the bridge. A reaction to symptoms of how bad our relationship had got? I don't know, it doesn't matter now.

I'm actually very happy now, I see my daughter 4 or 5 times a week, and I do all the mundane stuff when she's not here so our time together is always quality time. She's picked up on the fact that her mum and dad are both much happier than they were before, and has really blossomed in her confidence and general jollity.

My newfound verve and swagger helped me get a promotion in work and, well, I've met someone - totally out of the blue - it's early days but I feel like a giddy teenager.

TL;DR? Everything turns out for the best, to anyone in a similar situation to me; it DOES get better 🙂

Great to hear, you've shown strength to step back from the edge ... Get some 80's pop on ... "The only way is up baby for you and me now"
