multipixie9,

I was married for twenty years and brought up three children.

I managed to hide my Multiplicity from him for ten years! Then we spent five years trying to get some proper help.

Up until then I had been treated for severe depression which, considering my abusive childhood and my dad's suicide when I was 19, everyone including my husband accepted the depression as a result of that.

I never told anyone for a long time about my Multiplicity, not until my children were older. I was afraid that I was going mad and I would lose my children.

There! The whole truth is out on this board at last!

We struggled on for another five years and then he asked for a divorce. I let him go because I was coming to an understanding of the whole thing. The realisation of what I had put him through almost killed me.

He took care of me until I could take care of myself. I haven't had another relationship, don't want one, it would be too much hard work.

We are still very good friends, he is the only man I trust apart from my children and my grandchildren. He still comes around to do the Santa bit for the kids and the grandkids, and I still get Birthday and Christmas gifts from him.

He doesn‘t understand even now but I know he cares about me. I love him, he gave me everything he had, his love, his protection and his energy.

You rant all you want, I still do on occasion.

Stay strong and stay above the battles.

Accept your pixies, they are real. talk to them, let them know that you have their best interests at heart, and that no one will ever hurt you or them again.
