memphisto Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Not a great start to the New Year..... Today the lady I had rehomed my girls with came to collect them. I cried most of yesterday but luckily the ex said he would deal with them leaving as I couldn't. Said my goodbyes and gave them all kisses, stupid I know. I feel so sad and miss them so much already. They've gone quite some distance away so I won't be able to visit them. Still feeling incredibly guilty about having to rehome them so soon. I will get some more in time when I'm back on my feet as I still have my coops and don't intend to get rid of them. I'm hoping in a year or so that I'll have a few pekins or silkies, looking in advance to the national show 2012 to get some more birds. The ex and I are still sorting finances so I'm not on my feet yet but hoping in a month or so that will be sorted out and I can pick myself up from all of this. To my beautiful girls I hope you are happy on your new farm, I know your new owner reads the forum. Enjoy all your free ranging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubababe Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 ((hugs)) Not a nice place to be but you've done the best thing.

Rosey Supposey Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 You did the best thing, what you had to do, but that doesn't stop things hurting. On the plus side, you're moving on from that difficult place now, doesn't matter how slow you walk - one foot in front of the other still gets you from one place in your life to another. Hang on in there, Spring and new beginnings are a-coming. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindafw Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Letting your girls go is the strongest thing you can do. Well done you...it shows that you truly want their welfare to be most important x. Pick yourself off the floor, set your chin from wobbling and start the beginning of your new future. Its the toughest time, and each step forward may (as someone has said) be slow and hard...but one step at a time you will move on to a better life. xx...don't leave the forum..we are all here to talk to..sisters in arms xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubababe Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 memphisto: I separated from my husband in 2010. With a (then) 3 year old & 1 year old. It was a really difficult time. We have since reconciled. If you want someone to listen too/bounce ideas/rant at please PM me. I will gladly listen. You are not alone and we care. I've been trying to write this since you posted but I can appreciate where you are at the moment. Please take care of yourself & keep in touch. We are here for you ((big hugs)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
