I’m now in my fiftieth year but still something of a bad mummy, given the chance!….In the middle of my life, where dramas that turn into crisis happen on a far too regular basis……
I’m no longer married to poor long suffering ‘R’, but with 2 beautiful daughters aged 21 & 24, now find myself, rather wonderfully, a Grandmother! I once had 2 mad dogs & a fantastic cat, and though loved them dearly, decided that Mr Diva could look after his own dogs. They all live happily in the country together and I’m a selfish cow that chooses to live alone! I have a large extended family and life is never usually boring. I once loved dancing, socializing and generally getting into lots of mischief! A few health issues has curbed my dancing, but not the desire…..the body is willing but not quite able! Although mischief is still a prerequisite!
A designer by profession, working freelance but I also have my fingers in a few other little pies. I don’t like a quiet life, but strangely, work alone…..so I blog, to ‘talk’………
I have a calling to do something outrageous and out of character….I’ve always conformed to society….but no more…..I’m ready to rebel, so watch this space!! This could well be the year, after all I’ve already made several life changing decisions!
I’m very deep, quite misunderstood, fun….enigmatic….and very wicked! So I’m told……….
Enjoy the ride…..this is it……thoughts and all…..
The Diva <3
ps. if you’re wondering about the name ‘purplediva’ then you have to read blog entries of just plucked chicken club & also A very basic instinct.…it explains all!!!

I wanna tel this man he’s not the father of my child but I know it’s going to hurt him asmuch as it hurts me on a daily basis.
What do I do/

It may hurt him, but the pain of looking at him and knowing the truth is screwing you up inside and will make you ill if it hasn’t already. Fathers aren’t always the biological parent of a child. It doesn’t mean that he should love the child any less….but possibly more, because YOU have chosen him to share your child and life and truth. You MUST tell him. Not for his sake but for yours. If you’re not happy, no one can be happy. If he truly loves you, then you will weather the storm and come through it and he will love you more for the strength you have shown in your honesty, and ability to accept the consequences….because it could possibly not go your way, and you must be prepared for that. If that’s the case, then he isn’t the right person…..if he isn’t prepared to stand by you for YOU, then the relationship would be based on a lie….not ideal in the long term. The truth may hurt, but living the lie hurts a LOT more in the end. I wish you all the luck in the World, be strong and be true to yourself. Good Luck

She is just about to disappear off to the wilds of Devon for two weeks. The plan was two months in France, but that got quashed. Have just been in hospital again and as usual nothing goes smoothly. Will be updating the blog as soon as I arrive
Hope you are well?
