I was an at home mum of 10 years when ex hub took off leaving me with a 7yr old daughter and a 3 yr old son. He left mountains of debt and to add insult to injury, refused to pay child support. He wanted cash so wanted me to sell the house and give him half. He didnt care where we went or if his kids had a roof over their heads, let alone the house they grew up in. I stood my ground, and kept the house due to a wonderful govt finance plan for low income earners. and i got a job photocopying 9 hrs a week. I told him I would go to court rather than give him what his lawyer was asking for, he ended up taking under 50% as I flatly refused to budge and he couldnt afford to take me to court.
Now 6.5 yrs later, I am a national credit manager with a salary to match. My kids are absolutely fantastic, well balanced smart and happy. We are a unit like we never were before when the ex was around. About 3 yrs ago I refinanced enough to build a lovely extension onto the house now we have 5 bedrooms 2 baths and the house is worth about 3.5 times as much as it was when ex was here.
I started going to the gym (actually id just started not long before he left...hmmm) and lost a lot of weight, grew my hair and got my eyes lasered. Of course the ex was trying to weasel his way back in but I divorced his butt asap....the court waiting room was full of women, surprise. He found out by mail.
My ex is around 275lb, and bald. My new bf is an absolute hunny, 85kg of 23 yr old man :) Im in love for the first time in my life and things couldnt get much better!
