 ), 2 great kids, lovely house, blah blah blah
1 year later it all started to fall apart.
Now I am the happiest I've been in 4 years. I've changed job, cut off the friends who either weren't actually friends, let me down or dragged me down, and joined fab. I've met some lovely people on here & am having a ball  | |||

"Well this time 5 years ago I seriously fucked my life up, heavy drinking, affairs and god knows I let my kids down, so here I am five years later, I'm single (we did get back together after my affair but never the same), I don't live with my kids (I see them more now than I ever did at home, go figure that one out!) I'm out of the hell hole of a job that dragged me into the gutter, I'm best friends with my ex (again who knew we could be better friends than husband and wife!) I have a good social life with a good mix of people and I have something else in my life that gives me the freedom to something that is obviously in my blood. This. So yeah I couldn't be further from what I was like five years ago and who knows what I will Be in another five " Life and how we live it makes us into who we are | |||

"5 years ago I was married working for a big company with good job security and upward momentum. My marriage broke down, my career fell apart and I lost any desire to start again. After bouncing around dead end jobs I fell into a job that I love working with people that respect me and I've made some great friends through here" | |||

"Fem here. 5 years ago I was happily preparing to marry my now ex. I certainly didn't foresee that relationship ending, joining fab or being diagnosed with a lifelong chronic illness.

"5 years ago I was about to give birth to my second son and I was very happy with my life. A year later memories of something absolutely horrific decided to resurface and I had a breakdown of epic proportions.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers and my marriage has ended, which has been very difficult but it all needed to happen. Onwards and upwards "Once you hit rock bottom it can only get better | |||

"I didn't see any future. I couldn't possibly see that far ahead. I guess I would have been getting pretty close to rock bottom around that time. To think I felt so worthless...those were dark days that I never want to revisit. It actually scares me a little thinking about that time. I don't like to look back. There's nothing back there. Only my innate love of life and love of women kept me going. I've been given a few incredibly lucky breaks since then and it's allowed me to at least get back on my feet somewhat. I'm arguably happier now than I've ever been in my whole life. Which itself is quite scary because I don't actually have anything. No partner, no house, no money, no career (I have the shittiest job ever). But where I've been, those things don't mean anything any way. I'm now heading in the right direction. I now know what I want. I've had a glimpse of the sun. I now want to feel its rays. Roll on the next five years! " | |||

"Five years ago I was in year 13 and about to fall into one of my worst relationships to date, with a psycho dealer manipulative dick who left me with an addiction and a shattered sense of self worth. I was looking at universities, reluctantly looking at Spanish because I was doing best at that; being very promiscuous and putting myself through a lot a lot a lot of dangerous situations, but still keeping up with my school work. I was a ticking time bomb. Five years from now I would like r have travelled a bit more, climbed the retail ladder a bit, maybe take a year out to do my masters (in what I'm not so sure anymore), with some stability and lovely people to share it with. " Well done for coming through the worst parts good luck | |||
