    I can understand your frustration! Any chance you can change the time of your lessons?
    Why are they doing stuff for c? Oh and you've shown more love, care, affection to J and the children in the years that you've been together, rather than all the rest of the time that he's been with c so please get those horrible thoughts out of your head.
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    They're not now but before they would always have the kids while she went out, took her out for lunch, bought her stuff she said she'd like, made her equal to J in terms of cost of birthday/Christmas presents (which I've already told them is ridiculous as he is their son so I'd expect them to spend more on him), had the kids if they were ill so she could still work, paid £45 a month towards her rent when she first moved out... that's just what I know about.

    I can't change my time really as there is a lesson before mine. I'll talk to Bob about it. J doesn't want me to cancel lessons but I may not have a choice.

    Talk to Bob, I'm sure there'll be a way of working it out...

    I’m sure Bob will be able to help, hunni.

    As for all the in laws were doing for her, has it occurred to you they were just trying desperately to try to keep things stable and easier for J? They must have known there was something seriously wrong
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    He won't drive out to Cherry so I'm not sure how. He says it takes up too much of the lesson.

    They said they had no idea, they just knew J was often in a right mood. They said it all suddenly made sense when everything came out.

    I’m not sure I buy that - I know my mum suffered awful guilt when my ex and I split, she’d say now that she had a feeling something was wrong but couldn’t figure it out and didn’t want to pry too much

    Possibly so. It could be they're denying knowledge to deny that guilt.

    At the moment, I think my options are to cancel my lesson when J is on nights, get to Beverley and either walk or get a taxi, ask my mum to take me home which is unfair when she's struggling with her RA in her hands, struggling with her mobility and they're talking about removing her opiates again, or finish my lesson early enough for J to collect me from Beverley before work. Swapping times will be hard as Bobs timetable is full.

    Or is there someone nearer you now who you could use?

    There are people nearer but it's taken me so long to gain confidence with Bob that I fear swapping instructors will really set me back

    You can’t unlearn what you’ve already learnt.
