 When I look at my 2 young sons, the love I feel for them is surreal and I want to be with them forever. When I look at them, all I can see is my brother looking back at me, especially in my older son,</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: What does the future hold?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/59218?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:42:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:8773af91-a1b5-48f3-bee0-df98093bb815</guid><dc:creator>Sarah Nicholas</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;No worries, it&amp;#39;d be interesting to do &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: What does the future hold?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/59206?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:29:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:ecad29e0-c5c0-4ca8-9dc3-1f42b0ffd198</guid><dc:creator>Saskia Quinn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Rainbow&amp;quot;]

even more.&amp;nbsp; I can&amp;#39;t stand christmas as my dad loved it so much, all i
can see is him fussing over presents the tree the christmas dinner and
then arguing over what to watch.&amp;nbsp; There happy memories but they sting
because I wish he was here right now to do it all again! My dads been
&amp;quot;gone&amp;quot; 10 years in May so a big year comming up.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you next look around Paula at
everything you have remember the hurdles you ahve already passed.&amp;nbsp; You
husband drinking, you husband leaving.... you overcame these and your
boys have an even stronger mummy.&amp;nbsp; Your brother is by your side helping
you smiling at how much you have achieved hes with you every single
second.&amp;nbsp; If you lose the house it&amp;#39;s sad but you will pick yourself up
and find a new one and again come out fighting! You are a strong woman
who have over came alot in a few months.&amp;nbsp; Keep smiling and when you
next look around give all your pets a big hug and keep your kids close!
They are lucky to have a mummy as wonderful as you! If your husband
walks out their life for good, then his loss you will raise two
smashing kids without him!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;oh and remember ur family and kids and all those pets will make sure you don&amp;#39;t stop smiling from christmas eve right up untill the bells on new years eve.&amp;nbsp; They are the ones who will get you thro this!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now smile and be strong! It a little hurdle which you will overcome. &amp;nbsp; Jut cos you can&amp;#39;t see the light in the tunnel yet doesn&amp;#39;t mean it is not there.&amp;nbsp; Things will get easier!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Promise! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He came from a family of 8 whereas I was a family of 3.&amp;nbsp; My family were/are always close, his never were.&amp;nbsp; He is now renting a house not too far away from us here.&amp;nbsp; His parents never bothered to visit us much, too busy wining and dining to be bothered about their family.&amp;nbsp; He lived with his parents prior to renting the house he is now in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He also has a sister called Paula - she is married with 3 children.&amp;nbsp; We have been married for 10 years and my children are 6 and 3 years old. However, its only now, since the break up that my sons know they have an aunt called Paula - same name as their mummy.&amp;nbsp; Makes me so annoyed&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: What does the future hold?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/58553?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Dec 2009 22:46:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:562cc603-8a54-4c09-a818-3d9062e7c49a</guid><dc:creator>Kim Buckley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;He is the one missing out.

&lt;p&gt;It does help to get your worries out in the open sometimes and hear what others have to say.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am finding it very difficult right now, christmas is a lovely time for the children and I feel I am making more effort this year than I ever have done - but its all for my boys and they are loving the whole getting ready for christmas thing!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But for me, christmas will be lonely this year - I will miss my ex and sharing christmas with him.&amp;nbsp; But, I suppose on the up side - I will be spending it with my children and my family, he is the one who is missing out I guess - even though that was his choice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: What does the future hold?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/58548?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Dec 2009 22:18:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:22608c5f-a4b2-4973-a7d7-1bce3f009449</guid><dc:creator>Mrs Dot Dot</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Saskia... You&amp;#39;ve had such a rough time of things lately, for many reasons..... I have never been in a situation similar to yours so can never know truely how you are feeling, but as long as your lads know that you love them and are there for them, come what may, then things will work out.... You will have to let them go their own way at some point but you all still have many years left together as a family, and that&amp;#39;s all that matters at the moment... Good Luck to you all... things will be ok, even tho they don&amp;#39;t always seem so...... X&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: What does the future hold?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/58538?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Dec 2009 21:43:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:3fd617ee-171e-4191-afb4-04dfe84f3636</guid><dc:creator>Kim Buckley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;My dad left when I was 6 and although he maintained contact for a while, I went for many years without seeing him and now I&amp;#39;m lucky if I hear from him at all! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All through this my mum has been amazing. We nearly lost our house but she managed to keep it and although we may have gone without certain things, I can easily say that I had a great childhood. Your boys are lucky that they have at least one parent who loves them loads and would do anything for them. Some kids don&amp;#39;t even have one. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It may take time but things will get better &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Happy_smiley.png" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
