Read MoreOnce Bitten …
So here’s a wonderful story. My friend, a gorgeous divorced mum of two, has just left my home after our late lunch date. I love her story and asked her if I could share it with you. Seven years ago she went through the most acrimonious divorce. The whole process took three years and they spent almost £60k in solicitors and barristers fees. There were private investigators involved and all other types of ammunition loaded, aimed and fired. She hated him and him her.

So here’s the story… My good friend has been divorced for almost 7 years now but if you met her today, you would think it all happened Christmas 2011. She does go on and on about her useless, lying, cheating ex-husband. And she has her mantra “forgiving is forgetting and I will never forget what he did to me so I cannot forgive!” Not sure where she got that from but it really is her daily hymn. “I will forgive but I will never forget” is another one of those phrases that people use all the time.
