Yikes. So sorry to hear everything has been turned upside down. Definitely still here for your excellent words whenever you feel you can; hope things settle down and work out in the best way for you.
I'm came across your newsletter after hearing you talk about it on LWS. What has always appealed to me about your writing is its realness. You are a beautiful storyteller. Whether you are telling stories with a lightness or stories that swirl in the darker depths of life, I want to read them. If you choose to share, I hope that writing also offers you some solace in return.
Take all the time you need; we will be here when you are ready to write + share again. Change the narrative, sis! Tell us about your experience, how you survived, how you dug deep to build the life you deserve. I'm here for it! Sending love + light <3
Still here 💖 Will read your writing, without the Nightmare - it was always about your writing, not him. So feel free to change this to whatever makes you feel wonderful. Because you deserve it. X
I’m still here, to read about the pain as well as the humour. Your observations on being a mother are what resonate most with me. I imagine that’s a tricky path at the moment too. x
I am so sorry that life is not the best at the moment and I hope that things start to get easier soon. I have always enjoyed your writing and will be here for when you feel able to write again whether it’s funny or not. Xx
So sorry to hear this, I've really enjoyed your writing and hope you can find the desire to continue. You'll get through this, I'm sure, and things will get better. They will.

Definitely keep writing, and much like Graham I rarely comment, and I too will do better if that's what you need in your current situation. I think most of us who have followed you can safely say we owe you for entertaining us and given your eloquent and funny writing I'm sure you'll find a better subject to make us all smile! Stay Strong!
Sorry to read this, there will be better days ahead. Please keep writing, I always read but don't often comment, I will do better going forwards. Most importantly, take care of yourself.
I could have written this... 18 year relationship and marriage ended in December. It’s odd. I had my head wedged deeply in fictitious sand. The objectively nice life (from the outside), the solid marriage, growing kids, the decent house. I kept the sadness to myself and shared anecdotes, stories, I think partly to convince myself that the quiet toxicity was worth enduring.
8 months later and my life is unrecognisable. 2 house moves, an ongoing renovation project (quite near you in ktown), kids who are more themselves than they’ve ever been. Just a couple of phrases kept me going: the only way out is through (thanks Alanis) and one day at a time (sweet Jesus can do one).

I'm here (in the world, as a reader) for honesty about life. For the funny bits and the dark bits and the both bits. It's all beautiful.
Write what moves you 🤘🏼
