I found my diary i started to keep in the hostel, i dont know if anyone wants to read it but thought i would write it up for you......

Happy New Year..

Last night my partner of 9 months told me he didnt love me any more, he said not to worry because he wouldnt throw me out onto the streets, he took me home and we talked for a while and went to bed.. This morning he changed his mind, he told me to get out and he locked the door.. Ive spent the whole day ringing people, the council, social services, hostels and homeless charities trying to get some help but they all say there is nothing they can do.

My 6 year old stayed out last night so i can at least be grateful that he isnt going through this and sitting out in the rain with me. All i have are the clothes i am stood up in.. my ex partner says i can pick some stuff up at 6 but changed his mind at the time...I have been stood outside waiting since 1. At 6 i ring my friend and ask him to pick me up and ask if i can stay there..

When i get to their house my son is excited to see me and asks if we are going home.... how do you explain to a 6 year old that he doesnt have a home? I fall asleep at 6 am...

I will write up some more later if people want to read it?

	Aww yeah I think it would be good for others to read what you went through, how you coped, how your doing now

I think that writing about the bad times in your life is very healing.....because it shows how far you have come.
When you are at rock bottom, there is only one way to go........that is up.
If someone had told you before the events, you would have doubted your ability to cope......but not only have you coped, you have become stronger, you have found out who your true friends are, and who will stand by you when times are rough.
That has to be worth something.

I also think that you telling your story will make some folk realise how lucky they are.
There is always someone out there who is worse off than you.
go on tell it like it is!

	Margaret's right. I once blogged a traumatic event in my life, it was very therapeutic and made me realise how lucky I am to have come through it a stronger person. Go for it...
