I took my marriage vows seriously and thought my husband did too. So when he walked out on me for someone else it effectively cut my life into ‘Part 1’ and ‘Part 2’.
You can read my own story at My secret history.
I was stunned. My self-esteem felt damaged beyond repair. I was no longer young and didn’t have a high-paying job.
Reinventing myself as a midlife woman and creating Part 2 Of My Life felt unimaginable.
I thought all chance of happiness had gone.
I vowed at the time if I found happiness and enjoyment of life again, I would write for other women who had been terribly let down by their partner.
Later, 'Part 2 Of My Life' became 'Part 2 Of My (Love?) Life' when I realised how important it was for me and many women to share my life with someone special.
It’s also about being able to 'love life' again — in the sense that life is worth living even if it's not perfect and has its tough times.
Cut to the present
That was twenty years ago.
I came through, learned to build up my confidence as a woman again, and found a new life and a committed and happy marriage. Today I love my life.
So I believe can you.
My purpose
Now I aim to share encouragement, hope, and inspiration for any woman let down in this way through fortnightly emails direct to your Inbox.
We’re in this together.
So brave, thank you for sharing your wisdom with us 🙏🏾
