Too cruel. Glad the Hibbies have given you some help and brilliant that 21.5.16 gave you joy that you were able to share through the Hampden turf!
Hope you and your kids are doing well together.
GGTTH and stay strong.

To be fair to Ferdinand, I've just been watching an interview with him about the BBC programme, and he emphasizes that this is not about sympathy, it's about getting people to talk when something like this happens, to open up, particularly if kids are involved. My mother died of cancer when I was 16 (my father had passed away 8 years previously), and all of a sudden we were orphans. I had to grow up pretty dam quick and start working while my grandmother watched my 2 sisters. I had no time to grieve, the stereotypes that Ferdinand touched on in this interview rung a few bells with me, don't show weakness to anybody such as crying, in my case leaving that to the women in the family who, as it turned out years later, had actually dealt with it much better than I ever had.
There's no specific template for people to use when it comes to something like this. We all have our own coping mechanisms, and most of the time one's not any better than another. But communicating is essential, letting people know that you'll always be there for them, even if you go off on one from time to time. The sad fact is that often tragedies like this draw families closer together, and make each individual appreciate more what they've got.

I mean, he's not necessarily 'reforming'. It's possible to be good and bad in different facets of your life, and that's what's happening here. He's clearly not good in relationships, and the emotional damage that cheating does to people makes it an act that is almost unforgivable. It's a probability that he'd cheat again too, especially considering that most who do just act without thinking then attempt to rationalise it after.
That said, on the other hand he's doing a great job of raising his kids and deserves the utmost respect for that, and no family deserves to go through what his has.

Well done to Rio and to all those who have had to go through similar horrendous situations. Breast cancer is a horrible disease and it takes the lives of far too many women each year.
My sister has battled breast cancer in early 30s. She has a BRCA mutation - like me (and Angelina Jolie!) BRCA 1 and 2 are tumor suppressor genes and if one is faulty then the likelihood of getting certain types of cancer - particularly breast and ovarian cancer - is much greater.
I was given the chance to have preventative surgery at 25 as I was told my chance of breast cancer was 85%. Best decision of my life as during the biopsy they discovered I had precancerous cells. How lucky do I feel.
My point in writing this is to urge people to check their family tree for any breast cancer or ovarian cancer patterns and go to GP and ask to be tested. My father's two Aunts had breast cancer in their 60s but as it is a common cancer for women we didn't pick up on any potential genetic link sooner.
BRCA mutations can be passed by a mother OR father onto their children. Any child of someone with a BRCA mutation has a 50% chance of getting it.
Worth pointing out that although rare men do get breast cancer too so if in doubt get it checked out.
Knowledge is power people, check out your family treesLast edited by JennaFletcher; 29-03-2017 at 10:56 PM.
