I’m 58 and I met my now ex-husband when I was 16. After we got married, I really thought all my dreams had come true.

We had two children – a boy and a girl – and we farmed, which I loved as I come from that background. I loved having my own animals and helping my husband on the farm, as well as looking after the kids and feeding the family.

Even though things were a bit of a worry, as we never had much money, life was still good.

Then, after 13 years of marriage, I found out he’d had an affair. We stayed together to “sort things out”.

But I ­uncovered more about him and this girl, which he denied, saying I was “deluded”.

Eventually, I moved out of the family
