Sorry for the delay folks! I received this notification a little while ago, but did not get around to writing a post about it.
Thank you all for following, and for your continued support on all three of my blogs (A Day in the Life of Maximus Octavian and Lady P Vintage).
Love P. x
Dear All,
I have been meaning to post this for a while. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your all your support – both on my son’s blog A Day in the Life of Maximus Octavian, and this one. Oh, and my more recent blog too, Lady P Vintage!
This particular blog has allowed me to talk about awful life experiences, at the hands of my son’s father, my abusive ex-husband. It has helped me to see, that domestic abuse is rife in this world. But it has also helped me to see, that there are still some wonderful people around – to include my WP family.
Many times, I have thought about shutting down this blog. As soon as this thought pops into my head, I receive a comment saying “I needed this today”, “Thank you for the inspiration”, “Your blog has helped me”, and the like. Without you peeps, I would not have made it this far. I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you. ❤
My life is not completely back on track, nor may it ever be, but I have come too far and have seen many blessings along the way. Most of them small, with a couple of big ones thrown in, but a blessing is a blessing, and one should not grumble about it’s size.
Thanks again everyone!
Much love. ❤
Thank you everyone! xo
One year already?!
What did I think I was going to achieve from blogging? Honestly, I have no idea.
I cannot express just how much writing about my traumatic experiences has helped me.
Others sharing their experiences with me, has helped me too. It’s made me realise that in reality, I am not to blame with the way some chose to treat others (my (ex) husband in particular, as well as his family). I’d like to think that I have helped and encouraged others too, as I definitely didn’t go into this thinking about only myself.
I would like to thank the lovely Elaine L once again for helping me to get started on one of the greatest paths I will ever walk along in my life ~ the Path of Healing.
I cannot forget the wonderful Kasita M from the Domestic Violence Centre I was referred to by my wonderful doctor. She has listened to me and has held my hand since June 2013, and still continues to do so to this day.
Now for my WordPress Family.
I have come across the most amazing people on here. Along this Path of Healing, people from all walks of life have become regular readers of my blog, giving me words of encouragement. Their support has been phenomenal. Please know I appreciate each and every one of you and thank you all.
However, the following have left me flabbergasted by the sheer lengths they have gone through to ensure my safety, to help me to keep going when I felt all was lost ~ and then some. What makes them so outstanding, is that they didn’t know me prior to my joining WordPress, yet showed such dedication in helping me:
Amy at Picking Up The Pieces and Teela Hart
The two messaged me (as often as required), and made sure they were at hand to call the police should I not respond within a certain time frame. This was during the summer when I had serious problems with my (ex) husband and his family, as they started to stab me in the back, slowly but surely, one by one. They have hearts of gold and are stupendous individuals. I can only ever repay them with gratitude. I am so blessed to know them.
One more person I’d like to thank at this time is the Beautiful Americana Injustica. She always manages to make me laugh when I need a good old chuckle, as this lady does not mince her words! The cards she created for Max and I are fabulous.
I apologise for anyone I’ve missed out. It’s not intentional. Max is calling and I have so to dash. It’s all about him you see. I’m just a being who is at his beck and call.
Much love to you all. ❤

I still have to work around my son Max, but I have finally managed to read and follow more blogs.
To those I’ve not managed to catch up with yet ~ don’t worry, I will get there!
Thank you all for your time, patience, follows, likes, comments and support. ❤
