You have become a resilient resourceful young lady through all of your trials. A true testament to the wonderful thoughtful Mum you are today. Hug to you for sharing. Greetings from New Zealand
Thank you darling. I only wish that it took me so long to change. I could have saved so much grief for all concerned. I am no longer that person and I'm all the wiser for it. xxx Greeting from a wet and windy Surrey. Didn't your team do well in the Cricket the other day! ❤❤❤
I have so enjoyed listening to and learning about your life. Your channel’s views and likes growing as you tell your life story….you have me hanging onto every word. Crying at times at how you were so cruelly treated at times…unlike myself, which made me realise I was not the only one, and could relate to a lot of what you went through. You turned out so calm, classy, kind and lovely which is remarkable really…so glad the dark times never ruined your good nature. And how forgiving you are…Looking forward to the rest of your story that you articulate so well. Thank you for sharing, it is refreshing to hear such an honest authentic life story. Like you, I believe in kindness, it is healing but so little of it in the world today.
Thank you darling. I am so sorry that you can relate to so much of my journey, it says to me that there have been many unhappy times you've had to go though to get to where you are now. I agree there is not enough kindness in the world or even forgiving xxx
A sad story.when we love someone more than ourselves, thus is what happens. Been there in a 50 year marrage. Now a widow and living my best life. I have stopped being a people pleaser and now please just myself. Life is great even in your 70's.
I got married in my 50s but I had to kiss a few horrible frogs along the way. I’m grateful that my mother brought me up to be a fiercely independent woman so that I knew I wouldn’t put up with any abuse.
What a beautiful lady you are 🥰 you radiate love and kindness with every cell in your body! Anybody would be incredibly lucky to have you in their life ❤ Sending you lots of love straight from my heart to yours 💖💕
I have watched a couple of your videos and find them refreshly honest and engaging.I think it is very liberating to talk about ones life, and the choices one makes, and the lessons learnt form who we ultimately become in later life. Looking forward to the next vlog! ❤
Thank you darling girl. I have made so many poor choices in my life but turned a corner when in my 40s . I will be recording another, probably tomorrow fingers crossed. It takes me a ridiculous time to edit and upload. 🙄 Much love Imi xxx❤
Hello Imogen and all here Mellie again. I’m commenting here as this is the most recent video. I want to specially share The Winter Solstice- 21st December - This is the shortest day of the year. After this every day in the Northern Hemisphere gets a tiny bit brighter. For those who have had tough family lives, the run up to Christmas can be grim. And then Christmas can be lonely, almost more so because people ask you about it etc. My take on the run up to Christmas, in the Northern Hemisphere, from mother nature is that every day gets shorter and darker and it is a natural time for slowing down, so all the lights, loud music, Christmas parties etc are at odd with nature and they can add to the heavy feelings within us. Then The Winter Solstice reminds us of how the light circles back again and in the dark moments our light is in us always, we may not be able to connect with our light, but no one can ever destroy it. So a winter solstice blessing to you all. If you look them up, they are lovely. I am not able to post one here. So love and light to you all, and Christmas is a bit of a break in the Winter. that’s nice, watch telly, go to church, enjoy with whoever you enjoy it with. There are many ways to express gratitude. May your expression of gratitude nourish your soul.
Hello Mellie, what a lovely message to receive. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind words. I have just this moment take the time to look them up and they are indeed beautiful and full of hope. Thank you. Winter Solstice blessings to you and yours darling.Much love Imogen xxxx
isn't awful how we socialize girls to think they need to grow up and do everything for a man, be useful in order to be wanted, and dare not expect anything in return, god forbid. I'm telling my daughters not to even bother with marriage unless they meet a very aware and emotionally intelligent man...otherwise it will only cause heartache. Focus on what makes you light up, your career, your hobbies and your friendships. That fairytale romance crap, is certainly fiction.
I think that was always the case in women of my age and generation. I’m 68 now and that’s what I was always taught too. My daughters are certainly not the same as I was for so many years…and thank goodness for that! xxx
Hello, I`ve just found your channel and am binge watching.You come across as such a dear person.Without a doubt these men "saw you coming." and played upon your needyness for love and approval...in a nutshell.I am happy that you eventually found the love , hapiness and respect that you deserve. I have subscribed....and that green cc cream arrives today...thanks for the tip.I am a Devonian who has lived in Germany for over four decades. Your art work is beautiful,by the way. X
6:45 you and I are so alike it’s crazy. It’s funny, my ex was was always traveling for work. Would always call and talk to the kids at night. We always said I love you before hanging up the phone. I also left love notes in his suitcase,his shave kit..I also made his lunches to take to work. While he was saying sweet things to me ,one of his 4 other women was laying beside him. I left him.. it’s been about 10 years, he’s gone through twice as many girlfriends since. No joke.. well yeah, he is the joke. Only a few weeks before he proposed ( without a ring). Hugs to you my friend. I am 54 and so happy to be single lol
I don't think we are alone unfortunately. What my videos are showing me is that, there are so many women out there that have gone through so much and even more trauma than we could ever imagine. I am so glad to hear that you're in a happy place in your life now. We rise by supporting each other. Thank you so much for your comment x
I've really been enjoying your stories. You are wise, very articulate, and have the intelligence to keep your wits about you. You've fashioned a life for yourself, without anyone telling you what to do or how to do it. I really admire that.
Thank you dear heart...I only wish it hadn't taken so many years to recognise the lessons that life was showing me. I wish you a happy fulfilling life xxx
You say you’re a rescuer, it’s called codependency, I believe…. I have this too. Which is why I no longer date. I lost my husband of 24 years, 19 years ago. Great marriage but after he died, my “picker “ was broken. Or should I say, it only picked broken men. Done now and found happiness inside.
I am so sorry that you had to go through all that you have. I know that I would never ever look for someone else again if my own darling boy were to die before me. He is irreplaceable. xxx
What a beautiful person you are inside and out ... too good for those ungrateful people you met along the way!. Stunning you are they did not know their luck !. Hope today brings something good for you♥️
Oh poor Katie, but what a little fighter! Imagine fitting in the middle of an exam but having the strength of character to continue. It speaks volumes of who she is. What a girl, you must be so proud of her. Breaks my heart to hear stories of damage from childhood vaccinations. I’m so glad Katie survived, albeit with effects. Many babies aren’t so lucky.
I am looking forward to the next post. I love what the person below me wrote. I feel the same way. You are a sweet person and I was a people person for most of my life. In my 60's I have finally changed. I now feel so much better about myself. Of course, I would not hurt anyone; but I will not let anyone hurt me anymore either. Love you and looking forward to the next chapter in your life. I know you will help so many by telling this. Hugs! Connie
I love your stories and the way you express them, you seem such a lovely lady and i'm so sorry that you went through so much heartache, you clearly do not deserve it. I love listening to you and excited to hear the rest of your life story.
I just came across your video. Your ex sounds a lot like my ex...mine is narcissistic, and I'm so very happy not to be married to him. Your life with him sounded so much like mine of 30 years! Know your worth and never settle. It's been 4 years since our divorce. I haven't dated, and I'm just working on myself and healing and to love myself!!
I’m halfway through this video, to the point you’ve said, so proudly, “I had a profession!” Instantly I thought of one of my earliest memories: my mother telling me that I was going to get an education & have a profession if she had to sit there & hold my hand through every class. I was perhaps 5 years old. She also added, “I don’t want you to have to depend on some long-legged SOB!”
Oh, how I wish my mother would have said that to me. It was the opposite, she pushed me into a marriage at 17 knowing he was no good, wanting me to be as unhappy as she was.
Wow! How do you stay so non angry! I have gone through very similar garbage with what I call 3 malignant narcissists and a father that was one also. I am amazed at how calm and gentle you are as you recount all the abusive, severely abusive garbage you have tolerated and overcome. You are an amazingly strong and very beautiful woman. The bottom line I realise as I study malignant narcissistic abuse is how they pick the most amazing, strong and beautiful people to marry and abuse. Also what you have gone through with your children. I can relate to some of that also. These malignant narcisstists set out to destroy our good and separate us from our children and destroy anything beautiful in our lives and yes, finally they want to destroy us. The most disturbing this is you met your second malignant narcissist at church as I did. Please read all of Psalm 37 and see that God sees all and has seen all. One day true justice will occur because our Heavenly Father is a God of love and justice. Yes, He gives a time of grace for the evil ones to repent but there comes a time where enough is enough even for Him. I pray that you know this fully well and that you know just how beautiful you are! Inside and out! God bless you and thank you for sharing your story. It is incredibly painful and severe but we see your amazing beauty in how you remain kind and beautiful thoroughout it all!
My daughter was a dream baby, too. She has epilepsy. I dont judge you for going out for a date. If someone asked me, I would go, too. Without the guilt.
My first visit to your channel. What a story! No offence intended, but I would have preferred had it been speeded up somewhat as it was quite a lengthy post - and didn’t want to miss anything. Men! I wish you well - you’ve had much to contend with. All the very best 😊
I know that I have a tendency to talk slowly. I urge you to look for the little cog wheel at the bottom of the screen (settings) there you have the ability to speed me up to twice the speed. Hope this helps x
How smart were you getting a career & earning lots of money, a flexible career at that, which you were in charge of, kudos. Teenage years are so difficult (with most teenages) & for people pleaser parents (mothers) it's another heartbreak until hopefully they mature into lovely people. Meredith from Oz
Seeing the Whitney Houston fella was not cheating, it was a confidence boost which you were well in need of. Worse still selling the house when you only got 2 years use of your business setup was deplorable let alone taking up with a so called friend is just a repeat of a past you thought you had left behind. Oh how low can some people go…. BTW I love your turn of phrase - it paints a picture in your storytelling in technicolour and not dreary black and white. Hoping happiness is not far away ❤
❤ I'm so glad you have now found your darling...I can relate to some of your story bless you xx I gave up looking for love 💕 you inspire me though. Love to you and thank you, I'm so sorry these awful people treated you so terribly 😢
I think the problem was me darling. When you don't hold people accountable then they have few boundaries and poor behaviour escalates. We all need to call out people right at the moment things happen. And I do that now . xxx
You have been unlucky in life. And I agree that you are a sweet lady. You are better off without the husband mentioned in this video. You deserve so much better!
Oh, my stars & stripes! What an engrossing tale! Thanks for filling in some gaps. What about your other child? Was that one held hostage by your first husband too? How old was Katie when you divorced? My brain is spinning! Tell us more!
Hello. By complete accident I'm here...I think you're a wonderful person and quite decent too. Oh, you have a lovely voice too...very pleasing to my ears. Kindest regards 🇬🇧
Worth listening to Lundy Bancroft UA-cam and also 4 part Podcast- Steps to Freedom with Don Hennessy. They are very plain speaking men who have a lot of experience working with women who have experienced intimate partner abuse.
It is a great relief to hear men of a mature age speak so clearly about male intimate partner abuse. They both do a lot of education and yet a lot of what they say does not sink into so many professionals. One by one, I try spread the right information
Unfortunately, I have no photos from either my childhood or even from my later years. It didn't help that I have never liked having my photograph taken I suppose.
Hello. Regarding your second husband…..why the about face with what seems to be a Jeckyl…..Hyde personality. Was he suppressing this trait, early on. Thank you, mh
I have absolutely no clue at all what was going on in his mind at any given time. The only emotion I ever saw in him was extreme anger when he was on the squash court but I never saw joy. I never realised this was one of his traits because until we'd been married a few years it hadn't really raised it's head. We live and learn xxx
I was bequeathed this item of jewellery by an amazing lady. She was stoic, strong and incredible. I wear it now every day. I feel that she is with me. Thank you for asking x
Yes I really noticed this beautiful pendant- Also the colour Blue this is the colour of the throat Chakra- where our voice is. You ate getting to speak your truth at a safe pace chosen by you, speaking your truth and being heard and also being mindful of your own need for protection.
@ my ex was like a demon - his eyes would turn black when he was cruel 😩true narcissist-so glad I’m out & we have some good news ! I got a tenancy on a little flat for my daughter and I ! We move in 13th Jan ❤️xx
Dearest girl do not ever think you have done something wrong.I am shocked by your story and the abuse you have had to live through.you are a beautiful person and deserve everything good in the world❤
@@Magical_Makeup_UK Oh darling that is the BEST news!!! I am absolutely thrilled for you. You and your daughter have been on mind ever since your first message. ❤❤
I just love your stories. Sorry if I seem insensitive but the juxtaposition of impotent verruca man and Whitney Houston just cracked me up.....😂😂😂 I do hope you ditch those regrets, it wasn't as if you harmed anyone. We all do things that at the time fulfilled a need but later with hindsight we think "really?".
Hi sweet heart you do deserve to be loved you are a beautiful person , and I'm sure you will find love again, ❤ you don't need a partner like that , you are a beautiful person ❤
I'm praying that you give your heart and your life to the Lord Jesus Christ and let Him heal you from all of your wounds and love you like no human can.❤

Married 51 yrs always chaotic. Very unhappy years and still in the marriage I must be mad.
Look at some recent Dr Ramani videos. She has ideas for how to protect yourself emotionally when you are still there. Take care.
I got married in my 50s but I had to kiss a few horrible frogs along the way. I’m grateful that my mother brought me up to be a fiercely independent woman so that I knew I wouldn’t put up with any abuse.
What a beautiful lady you are 🥰 you radiate love and kindness with every cell in your body! Anybody would be incredibly lucky to have you in their life ❤ Sending you lots of love straight from my heart to yours 💖💕
Thank you so much for your very kind words
I hope your children appreciate this oral history. You’re such a sweet soul. ❤❤❤
They all know it already. It has been discussed many times over the last 40+ years unfortunately xxx
I feel as if you are telling my own story in many ways. Thank you for sharing and shedding light on a situation many find themselves in.
Oh that is so sad to read. I do hope you're in a better place now x

I can relate to your story so much, as similar in many ways to mine. 😢
And that is truly sad darling. I am so sorry you went through so many hard times, I can only hope that you are in a better place now ❤
You are a very clever and motivated woman I have ever heard. You had an amazing life story…Love will come…

@ she was a gem & also hilarious! My father was a womanizer, so I can relate to some of your experiences.

It sounds like rain on the window pane to me?
Personal question, only answer if you wish……your necklace is rather unique & unusual, does it have a particular meaning! Thank you & regards ♥️
I was bequeathed this item of jewellery by an amazing lady. She was stoic, strong and incredible. I wear it now every day. I feel that she is with me. Thank you for asking x
Yes I really noticed this beautiful pendant- Also the colour Blue this is the colour of the throat Chakra- where our voice is. You ate getting to speak your truth at a safe pace chosen by you, speaking your truth and being heard and also being mindful of your own need for protection.
You’ve definitely been caught up in some narcissistic relationships! Classic behaviour. First time watching your channel & will return 😊. x
Thank you darling. However I have changed a lot since those days and would no longer get myself into those kind of situations thank goodness xxx
It seems you attract narcissists like me 😢I’m so sorry you went through this abuse
I never knew what a narcissist was until recently. I do hope you're doing well darling xxx
@ my ex was like a demon - his eyes would turn black when he was cruel 😩true narcissist-so glad I’m out & we have some good news ! I got a tenancy on a little flat for my daughter and I ! We move in 13th Jan ❤️xx
Dearest girl do not ever think you have done something wrong.I am shocked by your story and the abuse you have had to live through.you are a beautiful person and deserve everything good in the world❤
@@Magical_Makeup_UK Oh darling that is the BEST news!!! I am absolutely thrilled for you. You and your daughter have been on mind ever since your first message. ❤❤
@@ruthdawson8986 Darling, that is very kind of you . Thank you xxx❤
What a story, you are amazing. And just think the woman who swooped in as soon as you left him, well he's her problem now haha!
Thank you darling. xxxx
Some men are so heartless.
Thank goodness it's only some men darling xxx
I just love your stories. Sorry if I seem insensitive but the juxtaposition of impotent verruca man and Whitney Houston just cracked me up.....😂😂😂
I do hope you ditch those regrets, it wasn't as if you harmed anyone. We all do things that at the time fulfilled a need but later with hindsight we think "really?".
Thank you for being so kind darling xxx
