Don''t think this is something you have done to let this happen you

It is something that happens because we trust, we help we see ourselves as part of a "couple" a "family unit" & therfore we act as a family unit, I.e. yes we as the other partner pay for things, get a loan, pay debts off that are there and are on the family.

Unfortunately, it is often the case that the other person doesnt see it as that, or just doesn''t recognise it.

X left me in terrible debt, both for bank loans, overdrafts, business debts that I''d paid (via family like you) he doesn''t see it as such I took all this on & yes got the house etc to that he sees me as the lucky one the one who "stiffed" him etc etc, not the one who is struggling to pay all the debt that he had the way greater share of amassing, the one whose family is angry at because I took all this on.

Perhaps I shouldn''t have, I should have fought more - I don''t know, but to me the safely & security of my kids & I came first, a roof over their head, food on the table, clothes on their backs. & a swift (well took 2+ years even taking all the b***dy debt) divorce.

It is a real struggle but we have got each other & I''ve got 2 happy well adjusted kids who are doing well at school, so for me it''s worth it.

We didn''t consciously get ourselves in this situation, we thought that we were doing the right thing for our kids, partners, families but it just happened - whatever you do do not blame yourself.

(((hugs))) to you and your children & Stay Strong you will get there JJx

Thankyou so much ... Your post was lovely ..and you are right indeed to stop beating myself up thinking that I''ve created all the problems .. When I haven''t !!! You are absolutely right when you say we were just being supportive partners to our other halves ., I can see now who one sided everything was .. Even down to holiday destinations !!! It always had to be where he wanted to go...and as always I agreed !!
In a very bizarre way I think he''s done me a favour coz nobody will treat me like it again that''s for sure!! .. Just wish I could pick up my things and run .. With my kids .. But it''s not proving that simple ..
Glad things are working out for you .. You should be very proud of what you have achieved ..your story is inspirational..
(((hugs to you and your family too))) x
I''m sure they are very proud of you ..
Posting on here has made me realise how many other shave been through similar things .. But with courage and determination that have got through it...
Thankyou xx
