Nicky said: “So I take the call and, it happened really quickly, my son said: ‘Mum, Dad’s having an affair’.
“Both my children found out before me and I was just: ‘Wow, wow, it can’t be right’. I even thought my kids were wrong – how could they know he was having an affair?
“It took me about five minutes to get home and the whole time I was driving back I was just constantly thinking I just wanted to find out if this was true.”
At home Nicky confronted her husband who confirmed it was true and he wanted to leave.
Nicky said: “The complete shock of thinking: ‘Why wasn’t I aware of it? What happens next?’
“This was the only life I’ve ever known.
“How would things change now? How could I afford to live on my own with the children and mortgage? It was going to be impossible.
“I cried morning, noon and night for the first eight weeks.
“I couldn’t stop – the feelings I was feeling were so overwhelming.
“You feel as if you’ve lost somebody, like they’ve died, but you also lose yourself too and everything else that goes with that – it was horrific.
“I was knocked off my feet completely for a year – upside-down, on the floor – struggling to keep on top of the bills.
“Financially I was cashing in all my savings but I just couldn’t keep my head above water – the mortgage was big, gas and electricity was massive, I was falling behind with everything.”
Over the months Nicky struggled with the stress of the situation – she lost weight, her hair started falling out, and within a year she had to leave work.
