    At 38 and male I went through a non amicable separation and divorce. It was traumatic but also liberating. I am now 78 and married but before this marriage I lost a wonderful wife to cancer.
    We can’t really plan our life. Things happen out of our control that shape our lives.
    I will only say I have followed you from the beginning. If the separation saddens you then I am also saddened. If you also feel a burden has been lifted then it was time for a separation and you and Reece will have sunny skies ahead.
    I wish Hayden the best as well.
    With love and friendship from the US.

    That was very kind of you to share that with us and it couldn't have been easy. There is absolutely no shame in two people separating, if things are not meant to be, they aren't meant to be. That is all we need to know in order that we don't bombard you with unnecessary questions and you are therefore right to not to go into detail. I wish you and of course Hayden too, luck in your new lives. Thinking of you.

    My partner and I have watched you almost from the start when you were travelling around in your little caravan. We've enjoyed watching you grow as you've progressed on your journey. We're both sorry to find out that your relationship hasn't worked out but you have achieved so much while documenting your journey. We hope you feel better soon and are excited to see you overcome more obstacles and achieve so much more going forward.

Stay kind to yourself. I’m looking forward to seeing your home in the future. Love from Australia x

  • @anneshirley1748
    @anneshirley1748 3 місяці тому +1

    So sorry to read this Karen. Life has a habit of throwing curveballs when you least expect it to, hopefully you can move on and with a bit of luck you'll come out of this a happier, contented, stronger person than you're obviously feeling right now. When children are involved it always seems worse as there are more than two people involved and children through no fault of their own seem to always be the ones worst affected, I do hope you can overcome these difficulties and at least Reece is young enough to not be affected by this as much as an older child who would most certainly have. I wish you and Reece and Haydn too, all the love and luck in the world to come through this in a calm, peaceful manner and that you all come out of this whole again. xx ❤

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I split from my husband last year, we'd been together nearly 13 years and it was tough but I'm so happy now and it was the best decision I could have made for my happiness. We have 2 young children too but they're happier because I'm happier. I also get on with my ex for the sake of the children. Sometimes it's just not meant to be. I know you'll be happy in the end though 💖 glad you're carrying on with the build on the land. Xx
