Long term readers will know that this blog has always had someone in the background Whilst in prison, Ben could not post the blogs himself. He sent them to me - usually typed on a word processor but sometimes handwritten - and I would scan, edit if need be, and post to the blog. Since release, Ben has not really needed an Editor. I just hunt for the odd rogue apostrophe or typo before hitting the publish button.
Sadly, Ben and I are going separate ways. He needs to find his path and I need to pick up the threads of my life as it was before he came into it. So please forgive him the occasional typo, for the foreseeable future at least...

Sad but not surprised. Best to you both....

DeleteAlex,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of this, I hope you find happiness in the near future.
You have been a true friend to Ben, good Karma is coming your way.
Take it that picking up the pieces of your life as it was before he came in to it will not include working in any position of trust....... You were had by a con; take comfort from the knowledge thAt you weren't the first and probably won't be the last...... Schadenfreude ... Lovely word innit Miss??!
