    • About Me

      It's been a year and a half now and I thought that I would be in a better place by now. But things seem to be getting worse instead of better. What I KNOW and what I FEEL still haven't come together yet. We are in the process of divorcing...papers filed and counter filed. I guess a part of me never thought it would actually happen. How can this be? I'm struggling...

    Give iseektruth a hug



    • Hug

      From purplefinch July 11

      Just caught up on your last few journals. Sending a hug. I know how it feels, truly. I think it will get better, though, and I'm glad you have your 8-year-old. My daughter is 19; and although I'm glad she is not depending on me so much at this point in my life, I also don't have the companionship or motivation to put on the happy face on her account.

      i hope that you are finding a little joy this holiday season. i'm feeling pretty "scroogy" myself but i'm rolling with it. i'm praying for you and your daughter to have the best holiday possible under your new guidelines of "family".

      I've been separated since January '08. I'm here to communicate with people going through the same thing.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      Didn't work...husband participated in three sessions about a month after he told me he wanted to leave. He was very hostile. At third session, therapist recommended he get personal counseling as he could not help us. My husband refused to get personal counseling.
      Forgiveness Too Soon to Tell
      I go through phases of choosing forgiveness...things go well between us...we get along and even find ourselves laughing and making small talk. However, this often leads to depression for me because I end up missing him and thinking about him constantly. Then I get angry and bitter again...it's a vicious circle.
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      Losing myself in a book often helps me escape the lonliness and sadness that I feel, however...I always have to come back to reality.
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      They are over it...and think I should be to. I have lost a couple of friends over the past year...I am sure they got sick of me being sad all the time. People just don't want to hear it anymore...yet I am so not over it. It's all I think about. I feel very isolated.
      Talking Not Working
      Don't really have anyone to talk to anymore. Sometimes I write letters to my stbx that I never actually send to him. This helps me get things out of my system a little bit.
      Time Not Working
      The passage of time only seems to make the loss deeper for me.
