40 years ago I was in a loveless violent relationship. Thankfully 8 years later I got up courage and walked out and have never looked back. I am now very happily married to the most wonderful man who is loving and kind and my true friend and soulmate |

I remember 1974 well. Dad's small business (where I worked) had to close because of all the shoe imports that caused shoe factories to close as well. It was a time of recession!! I don't think dad ever recovered from losing his business and he died 5 years later aged 59. It was also the year I joined the Civil Service, which was a real eye opener for me and the challenges and couple of promotions were the making of me really. It certainly taught me that very few things are all black or white! |

40 years ago 1974, is a year imprinted in my mind, in June of that year I was one of the leaders at a joint cub and scout camp when our local parish minister arrived at the campsite. I thought he had come to visit the cubs and scouts, sadly that was not the reason for his visit, he had come to tell me that my father had died and to take me home to comfort my mother, my dad was only 58 :-( |

Glad your efforts didn't succeed Uzzi, and happy for you that things finally worked out for you too, despite the blips and glitches! |

40 years ago, about this time, I was in Saudi Arabia, visiting my parents. Dad had been working out there for about 5 years, and 2 years previously, when I was 15, just before I took my GCE's, mum went out to live with him. |

Thankfully Ann it isn´t just my OH that makes me thank that I lived, although it took me a few years to understand that my life was worth something to me. |

I am so pleased that you don't regret living Uzzi, how sad if you had succeeded and missed all you now have. |
