Thanks everyone. the court stuff is just a process I have to go through. I may not attend and leave that to my lawyers judgement.
A pom is te Asutralian Slang for a Brish Citizen.
Us Ozzies rarely call anything or anyone by the correct name.
Oi Oi Oi is the punchline to an Aussie Cheer Chant mostly used at sporting events.
Oprah perfected it on her visit here last month and there are a few sceness in her Down Under Special featuring it.

A little more about my past year of freedom.
Being without him was harder than I expected. Now dont get me wrong. It was FANTASTIC, no more games, no more drunk passed out on the couch, no more paying his bills, no more quacking...all of the day to day stuff was gone.
What was hard was losing the relationship, more precicely the dreams we had together , the plans, an interesting adult to share life journey, companionship. I have missed his lovin' , the intimacy. So I had some sadness and grief to process and I thought once he was gone I could get on with work and life and forget all about him. But like any loss it takes time.
Losing him was hard but living with him was hard. It was a matter of "Choose your hard"
So onto me. What did I want? Moving to this new town 12 months ago was meant to be a 12 month contract and after some soul searching and discsusion with DD we decided to stay on another 2 years so she can complete her education without another school and town move. It is a bit hard being hours from my family and friends but the job and pay and stability is good,so moving would be unsettling, financially challenging ......again "choose your hard".
The biggest change has been my personal committment to myself. Chosing to say NO when I am asked to do something I dont want to, Saving money (Oh thats a delicious feeling). For months I have been examining my codependent tendancies and practiced techniques to stop this behaviour with work and clients.
I have also been working on my own addiction to food. It has been an emotional preparation for months and finally in the new year I started physical steps and am slowly and sensibly losing weight and getting fit again. I am allowing myself to look after myself.
I really quite like me!!
