The publication of this diary was 30 years in the making. And yet it wasn’t.
I never imagined I would share it with anyone at all. My closest friends didn’t even know it existed for years. How could I share the thoughts of these dark times?

I have worked in business but am now also a retired teacher of RE, Philosophy and Ethics, a Waterways Chaplain, gardener and a dog owner. I'm also divorced. 

Being divorced doesn't define me though. 

All this time I’ve sadly heard of Christian couples separating, divorcing and leaving their local Church and perhaps turned their back on any Church and/or their Lord. 

But what if it didn't have to be that way?

I don’t think there is anything like this diary out there. Who in their right mind would publish? But, all this time there has been a constant prompting, a nagging that it needs to be done. 

I'm actually a shy person at heart, but God gives me strength to speak and share, so I'm publishing in faith. 

I've taken a very bold step to publish the actual diary I kept during my separation and divorce. I didn't have anyone to talk to for so long as I was ashamed to tell anyone what was going on. 

I've done this to hopefully help others out there who may be in the same position or would like to have a little more understanding to help those they know are suffering this way.
