    Do you have someone you trust that you can talk to?
    Even a help line might give you some comfort untill you're feeling better able to cope, this must be a big shock for you to have to deal with, but focus on yourself, take it easy on yourself and you will get through this, don't try and cope on your own.
    Things will get better, take care.

    It wont help if you are holding it in and putting a brave face on so he doesn't know you have found him out 

    You need space to heal and be able to let your feelings out the sooner you get him away from you the better. Yes you will miss him but better than it is now 

    I spent 3 years of hell suspecting my husband was cheating but didnt do anything for sake of our son but tbh when it all came to a head it was a huge relief.  It was still heartbreaking finding out my suspicions were right 

    So for yourself a favour and dont drag it out

    Hi @coylygirl - I have no particular words of wisdom, nor have I been in your situation, however, to me, to love a person I also felt you should like them too. In other words, respect each other, &, as you mention, trust.
    If you still have strong feelings for him, talking may be the way forward; only you can know.

    An update for you, things came to a head on Monday and the police were in attendance and took him away.  I had a full blown Bipolar relapse and am extremely manic.  Fortunately I had already contacted my GP who was amazing and referred me to Mental Health Team.  I am being supported by Home Treatment Team, Psychiatrist and 24 hour helpline.  They are currently sorting my meds which hopefully will be here this afternoon.  Currently on high dose of Diazepam for my anxiety and mania and it is helping.  After 48 hours awake and hypervigilance, I finally got 6 hours sleep last night.  Getting all the support I need from professionals and my amazing friends. Feeling the love and so much gratitude.  The police have had a word in his shell-like so he hasn't contacted me since Monday and is blocked anyway.  Pressing charges for the assault which is classified as ABH.  Feeling slightly more in control and making a simple, manageable plan for every day.  Am so grateful this forum.  Best wishes to all xxx

    I had been relatively stable for about 3 years and was looking for work and planning a move up country.  So benefits agency took away my PIP 2 months ago.  My income has halved and I am struggling financially.  Can I reapply for my PIP after what has happened?  TIA x

    Hi again 

    Regarding pip I would appeal the decision you had 2 months ago if you didnt appeal at the time rather than put in new claim 

    You can actually appeal up to 13 months after if you explain reading for not appealing within the month as stated 

    I would contact welfare rights for some expert advice

    It's my daughter's 20th birthday tomorrow and I have had no contact with her for a year as she is in a dark place and she emailed me telling me I am not her mother and not to contact her - this was last March.  I am going to email her some Amazon vouchers and just say "always thinking of you".  I have a simple plan in place for tomorrow to distract me :)
