I’m back in the UK!
I’m navigating life as a single mum (the move to Switzerland allowed me to know that I had done everything I could to save our marriage and allowed my husband to prove that getting a divorce was the right way forward).
Yes, I went through the shock, the tears, some screaming and shouting. A divorce was not what I thought would be the end result when we got married or had children, but yet here we are. As much as it’s not what I wanted for our marriage, I can’t help but feel now that it’s for the better. The relationship that was being modelled is not one that I would I would want for my girls.
I’m excited for the future. I didn’t realise how much I had been adjusting my wants, needs and desires to fit with someone else - it’s really hard to see when you’re in the relationship.
So many people have commented, “well, you seem really positive” and I am. I attribute that to , but that’s definitely to do with the journey of growth that I have been on since having children. And I am very grateful for all the therapy that I had in 2022 with Steph Grainger and by chance I had her “Steph in your pocket” service when all of the **** hit the fan earlier this year. What a gift it is to have someone like Steph helping you move through and process all the emotions. Shelley Bosworth and Marie Frost also gave me invaluable advice and space to offload in messages and voice notes before I wanted to share what was going on with friends and family. And since I’ve told family, friends and clients, I have been overwhelmed with all the support and love. My parents have been absolute champions. We arrived back in July (thankfully we hadn’t got as far as selling our old house) and since then it’s been a whirlwind of sorting schools, unpacking and general moving and life admin.
This is a new chapter for me and the girls and I’m ready for it.
I’ll be sharing more about what I’m doing work wise in the coming days!
