So after reading whats happening on Alex's diary its made me think about my life and how i want my life to be.
my last proper serious relationship that was normal wouldve been a 4 year relationship i had when i was 16
my eldest childs dad was a nightmare relationship,it wasnt normal (it was him,he wasnt and still isnt right in the head)he was crackers and turned out to be quite nasty and cruel,i still have to see him at the weekend when i take my eldest lad to visit.i really wish i had listened to what people were telling me about him, but then i wouldnt have my gorgeous lad.
we had split up,but he still lived with me as he had no place to go...when he did eventually leave (he shacked up with my so called friend,we arent friends now, that ended badly too) i became friendly with a guy,we met in the pub...that wasnt a normal relationship either...
we never saw each other out of the pub, we never went on a date,we never spent time together during the day,we hardly had a conversation that didnt revolve around the pub or our friends in the pub.. not a good relationship at all.
he is the father to my other child and he has never seen him,we split up several months before i had him.that was 4 years ago now.
my life has changed sooo much since then,all those people i thought were my friends i dont see,we exchange a hello if our paths cross,i dont drink anymore i hardly socialise now.
i guess going from one aggressive relationship to a dysfunctional one knocked all my confidence out of me,and that with other things has just led me to spiral downwards and pile on so much weight and go into myself.
im not ready for a relationship,where i meet someone face to face and let someone enter my life,im not ready for that,i dont know if or when i will be but i do know that i want a partner eventually.
so after reading whats happening with Alex at the moment its made me think about things,and about changes i have to make..
