View MoreThe next day I’m sat across from a police officer at my dining table, re living the events of last night. This is not how I had planned to spend my first day home alone.Penelope is sat next to me with her head on my lap, her big brown eyes looking up so lovingly at me. As I stroke her head, I tell the officer what happened,“Has anything like this happened before?” he asks, he makes me re live my entire relationship with Dylan right from the start and as I reach the end I suddenly realise I have been in such a toxic relationship the entire time, right back to when we first got together and he’d made me change the way I look. I didn’t see it at the time as he had done it subtly. He told me he didn’t like my leather jacket, Doc Marten boots, bright red hair and punk friends. I was so desperate for him to like me I did everything he asked. I wasn’t allowed to listen to my favourite music because he didn’t like it. When he bought me clothes, they were the complete opposite of what I woul
Walking back home from the school drop off my head is whirling. Why would those words come into my head? ‘I’m going to be yours one day!’The whole walk back I can’t stop thinking about my mystery man. He has the kindest face, he’s tall, handsome and I can imagine being wrapped up in his strong arms. I have never had such irrational thoughts about a complete stranger before, what is wrong with me? Anyway, I’m sure he’s taken, he must have a child that goes to the school, maybe in Rosie’s class as I’ve never seen him before.I pop in to see Liana. Harry and Luna play happily together while Liana laughs at me for crushing on some random guy I saw for about two seconds.“Seriously Liana, it’s completely irrational for me to be thinking about him this much but I can’t get him out of my head!”“You’ve been single for nearly two years, maybe it’s your bodies way of letting you know you need to go get some” Liana says with a wink and a cheeky smile on her face.“ha-ha, I don’t think my body
“Come on we’re going shopping” Liana says grabbing my hands and pulling me up off the sofa. I had agreed to let Dylan have the children every other weekend after months of him asking. Harry was six months old now, so he was taking bottles which meant I had some freedom back, not that I wanted it, and this was the first weekend I had ever been away from any of my children.“Get up and get dressed” Liana said with exasperation in her voice. I know she was trying to take my mind off my babies, but I felt so lost without them. “Ok, Ok I’m coming”, I go upstairs to my room and pull on a pair of skinny jeans and an over-sized t-shirt. Liana was looking lush as usual with her long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, black jeans that fitted her perfectly and a rainbow t-shirt, she managed to get her figure back so quickly after having Luna and I still feel so frumpy. I suppose new clothes will help. *We got into town and were looking thr
The next morning, Joshua and Rosie come downstairs together for breakfast; the smell of fresh pancakes must have woken them. I didn’t sleep much last night, the conversation between Dylan and I played in my head over and over again. Joshua has always been so caring towards his little sister, he helps her up the table as I set pancakes, chocolate and strawberries down in front of them, “Wow” says little Rosie, “Thanks mummy” Joshua says as he tucks into the plate of pancakes, drizzling most of the chocolate on the table.It’s Saturday so Dylan would normally be home, but the children haven’t noticed yet, probably because they’re too busy getting sticky. They look so happy with chocolate all over their faces, how am I supposed to tell them Daddy won’t be living here for a while or even forever. I still don’t know what’s happening and he didn’t bother to try and contact me last night. I’m pleased he didn’t as I was too angry to speak to him then anyway. Harry is cooing away in his mo
1 / 13 Where do we go from here? Chapter oneThere I was, twenty-nine years old, three beautiful children and divorced. Who would want me now?I had always dreamt of being a mum and a wife, one of those 1940’s wives you would see in the movies. I loved my family life, looking after my three babies, helping them with homework, cooking and cleaning while the children were at school and having a nice hot meal ready on the table for when my husband got home. Everything seemed perfect, that was until I stumbled across emails, I clearly was not meant to find….’Work is so fun with you Dylan; I can’t believe you threw water on my top and made it go see-through’.’I liked what I saw, and I really like you Stacey, we should meet up more often’.‘What about your wife?’‘I’ll tell her I’m going to see my friends; you make me feel so different, I want to be with you’.There it was in black and white, and my world came tum
