Hi had an ex that promised he would never leave, but he cheated on me and i got very depressed, met a psychic that helped me get my life back and councilled me. shes my friend on facebook now. any one else had an expierence where theyve met someone whose changed there life!
Hi Louise111, what a great idea for a thread! If ok with you Louise111, I would like to change the title to People who helped me get my life back.
kiera, it is always lovely to read that our site has helped changed your life, so thank you. You did all the hard work, we just supported you.
There is one prominent woman who changed my life. I contacted a charity when I was at my lowest point, she answered the phone. They couldn't help me with my particular issue (I wanted/needed money!) however the woman asked if I would be interested in volunteering with them. (Me? Work, but get no money? I think not - was my response), however she was quite pushy! And I agreed to go and visit the following week.
That was 10yrs ago and I am still here albeit in a paid capacity!! I have trained in many different areas of parenting and now have a job that I am completely passionate about. And that is all down to this womans pushiness and belief in me. She supported me, spoke to me like a human being who was worthy and capable of having a healthy and happy life, not the lowest of the low, poverty stricken single parent that I felt like.
So big shout out to this person, if you read this, you know who you are and if you hadn't kept on at me all those years ago, I wouldn't be where I am today so THANK YOU!!
hi well i got told wait a year til mayb i i want to support women who goin thru wot ive bin thru,its bin like 5 months since got rid of ex, but i said i never wud do volunteer work but mayb i wudx
Yes you do need to have put it well and truly behind you before you start as a helper, kiera though in the meantime you can be a big help to people on here...especially when they have feelings that they think are illogical or not normal and you can reassure them that it IS normal, as you have been through the whole emotional process and are still recovering from it, and you can start to be proof that you CAN get out and build a new life 
Glad the site has helped you, too.
Anna, that's fab to hear about. From that start you have grown into a confident and strong woman and you help so many people now. High five you!!
As for people who have helped me, well there are quite a few. A guy who showed me that the break-up of my marriage was not the end but a new beginning, a boss who respected and inspired me and two friends that stood by my side when I thought my world had ended. I have recently met another inspiring person and more about that in the months to come, as I continue my journey with her
Any more stories to share?
I had a teacher in primary school who was the best teacher in the world (my dad had had him, too - I grew up in a little village). He always encouraged everybody. Once I missed six weeks of school, and after that he had me come early an hour each day to catch me up - that only took two weeks! And it was out of his own time, too. He was lovely.
I have obviously met a lot of inspiring people throughout the nursing course.
The most inspiring person though must have been my husband - if it's the right person they will just bring out the best in you. Shame I couldn't have had him around for a bit longer.
Aww Hopeful yes it is a shame, but hopefully the time you had together has set you in good stead and obviously raised the bar on any future relationships.
Your primary school sounds wonderful, I wish there were more like that.
Louise thanks for the high five, you made me blush! 
I want to add another inspirational person in my life. I used to child mind when my daughter was in infants and her mum came at about 5.30ish, we would then have a tea and a chat. I was in the midst of court and confusion over boundaries, priorities and healthy relationships. She was very direct and sometimes it hurt, but most of all she was honest with me. Telling me that I was daft to think that it was ok that my child was sitting in the front seat whilst speeding up the motorway at 100mph, her dad at the wheel smoking spliff. I thought it was good that he saw her! She soon put me straight. I had been under his influence for so many years that I could not logically see sense. So thank you to that person too!
