I thought I might tell you a little about myself!! I fell pregnant at the age of 14 to my now ex-husband who was 24 at the time!!! My father gave him two choices when he found out I was pregnant, he could marry me or go to prison as I was a minor!!! So we got married!!!!

I gave birth to my daughter at 15 and had two sons, the first when I was 17 and the other at age 20. My ex and I had a happy marriage up until a few years ago!! You see he was a property developer who had to travel around the country and even overseas. We started to drift apart fom the extended periods apart as I felt alone.

Then several months back while he was away his lawyer arrived at my door with divorce papers for me sgn!!!! No seperation, no hint even that he wanted a divorce!!! I broke down crying then as one could probably imagine!! The lawyer who I have known for many years tried to comfort me telling me I would be okay and it was probably for the best!! I asked him why and he told me that the divorce settlement meant I would be financially set for life and then he started to say something else before stopping himself. I urged him to tell me what it was and he told me that my soon to be ex had been having an affair for over 3 years now!! In anger I grabbed the pen, signed the papers and took my first steps into my new life!!!!
