how to survive divorce

[Raidho]

I read back through the posts today and I don't feel i've made much headway. I don't expect to get over this overnight but damn, there are days i don't wanna bother with anything. And with kids, that's hard to attempt. Seems i've managed to run off 2 friends (not friends apparently) and feeling a bit lonely and alone these days. Found a better place to live (remember i was evicted?) and packing up for that, with the kids in tow.

Just sick of all the shit. And not sure anyone here even gives a damn.

December 18 will mark my 4th year anniversary of being divorced. I guess I'm mentioning that to give me some cred

There are still days when I don't want to bother with anything. There are days when I wish I was back in the marriage, as ugly and as empty as it was because I think, for one passing moment, that it's better than where I am now.

And then I wake up.

It's hard being alone at times, and lonely when everyone else is married or involved seriously.

It's normal, I think, to feel lonely and isolated at times, especially when you've been a part of a couple for as long as you have.

I can't think of anything better than to say "Hang in there," and for that I'm sorry.

I don't know where you're at right now, but the good days will outnumber the bad ones at some point, and the bad days will lessen as your "new you" emerges.
