I have never felt as alone as I did when I packed my bags and left my husband. If it wasn't for my sons love, hugs and kisses I don't think I would have been strong enough to see it through. I have since been fortunate enough to make two amazing friends on RHP. I talk to them everyday. I value their opinions, their friendship and love. If it wasn't for them I probably would have gone back to a loveless marriage out of pure loneliness. They have been my inspiration and my strength. They have, without a shadow of a doubt helped me on my journey.

I have two of those friends that I can not speak to for months and them just pick up where we left off. Both are male. One lives in America with his wife and children (an expat) the other is in Brisbane and quite a bit younger than me. Both were around and helped in different ways when I went through a sucky separation and divorce that was nasty to say the least. Apart from my dad, who is my hero, these guys are next in line and I would do anything for either one of them.

is amazing. I am so lucky, despite my crappy love life, everything else is great in my life. I am happy apart from the loneliness, I am healthy, my kids are also happy, healthy and well adjusted, I have a great job that I love, I don't struggle for money, I don't have anything too bad to stress about. Life is great. My extended family unit is a solid one and we all help each other out in times of need. I have 2 girlfriends who are busy like me and we can catch up any time without guilt. I am usually the rock, the mentor, the support for most people in my life. I don't rely on people like that, my help comes from the help I give others, it keeps me appreciative of what I have. I have never been the type to look up to others, I always led the way and took my own route.

We survived three children under 5 together, when my mum was diagnosed with cancer, she was there, she was with my kids when my mum died and hosted the birthday party for my youngest the day after, she's been there to get me through the hardest and saddest times. She is also the one I can really get silly with, sit up all night drinking, chatting, binging on chocolate and singing into our hairbrushes. She's the one I go to music festivals with, costumed and ready to brave any mosh pit. She encourages me and supports our lifestyle without judgement. She kicks me up the arse when I need it! She's simply Awesome I have also been fortunate to work with some amazing people. I support people with disabilities and mental health issues, a between the people I have supported and the people I have worked alongside they have helped shape the person that I am today.

He impacted on everything I thought I knew about myself and made me see not only myself but my life's direction in new ways. It's potential, the possibilities, my own value.... He made me see there IS a whole world out there and I can have anything, any part of that that I truly desire. (Laughs softly) 4yrs later I wouldn't say that I've grabbed that bull by the horns BUT I'm learning what "I" want, am learning to take the chances as they come along. I know that I am worthy and at some stage I will have most of those things I truly value for myself and to another degree, the other people in my life I love. Terry made me see that life is not one dimensional, that every day presents new challenges and opportunities and that I am the one who gets to make things happen or not. There are others I've met in my life who inspire me and believe in me.....but none who had such verve and vigour, calculated malice and, I believe; utter faith in me. His successor encourages me in different ways, largely unbeknownst to him...... I think I'm blessed, truly blessed for the spectacular people I have in my life and for the friends who love me.

I've had many people in my life who indirectly taught me not what to be .. In other words ' their actions ' not their words taught me they are the type of people ' I avoid being like '... Coming from a humble childhood and raised by one parent you grow up real fast. At a very young age I was seen by friends as the person to turn to because of this and seemed forever taking to them when they had a problem.. Not that ' that is what I wanted. it just the way it went. If there was any one person who showed me the way , it was my first grade coach for the first 5 years of my 13 year football career. He could read me like a book and was the person who taught me to never take a backward step if you believed you were right.. something I now live by..

There is one very inspirational lady in my life (aside from Jennylee and my mum). Her name is Ruby and I think the world of her.

I'm thankful, grateful and love my life, all of it. For all the people who I've crossed paths with, the good, the bad and the ugly, it is them that I have to thank for who I am, who I've become, what I've achieved, what I've lost, what I've found. Because without knowing and learning from each and every one of them, I wouldn't know anything and I wouldn't be an intelligent, strong, independent, happy, funny, loyal, loving, caring and passionate woman/mother/friend/lover that I am.... My children are my biggest inspiration, my father was my biggest hero, my best friend Christopher is my saviour, my shoulder, my protector and my run a muck mate.......💋

Some times friends come from the strangest places & support you when you need it the most. I have a wide network of friendships, but only a couple of people I would call good friends.

Nice work Q....what a truly interesting post, As I read through all the responses there are some touching and inspiring stories there.....me I suppose I learnt quite young that I had to take control of my life , making me self reliant to certain degree... I have made some good choices and some not so good......My lovers have always been my best friends , and the biggest challenges at the same time......I like to think that I have been that rock for some of them to fall on. while learning from each other as well My Mother and late Grand mother I am grateful to for standing by me unconditionally .....as I do with my children, which of course are my biggest and still growing Achievements. Lots of people have had a influence on my life and philosophies , a fair percentage of those I have never met ! Love and peace Tam

My children are my blessing to me as i brought them up on my own and i mean a single full time parent. They saved me from being a post active serviceman fatality. Being called mum in the shops one time was a proud moment of my life, knowing they love you well thats priceless too me. Having the oppertunity too walk my daughter down the isle only last weekend another priceliess time of my life. Another person was my montor in the work place when i was young,with coments as think back you only have one. Neve put your hands where you would not put your dick and if you did not get to where you want to be through hard work and respect then you did not deserve it.

I meet her just before my darkest days in a most unlikely setting. She sat with me through the pain of that first year, patient but firm. She led me back into the light of life over the next 2 years and showed me that I needed to be active again. I never thought I would love again but she showed me that it was still a young man. She was my closest confidante and co-conspirator. She never hesitated to try something new so we could experience the path less trodden. And when I was back on my feet, she left. I am so grateful every day for her kindness, and miss her deeply. But as she always told me, just live because we are a long time dead.

I'm a bit like Jay_Me that I leanrt better what not to do from most of my examples Q. But I held on tight to the few who believed in me, helped me on my life's journey. I learnt from them to believe in others, to give them a chance. And to know when to quit giving chances. But my family has never stopped giving me chances, and I'll never stop giving them chances. Effort must be made from both sides to make the best relationships. Valuable to know! I'm so grateful for all I have. . I've been ever so grateful for people in the forums as well. For the souls who lead quietly and thoughtfully and the souls who lead loudly and knowingly. For the souls who give, and take. For my soul without which all would have been lost.

There are one or two individuals here and there in my life who stand out and shall remain nameless (they should know who they are by now)... suffice to say without these close friends I would not be here today. SG
