About Me
39 years old, working full time, newly single, not by my choice, after 8 years of an extremely passionate relationship (in all ways, good and bad). Despite all the trouble with his moods and ideas and crankiness, the other good parts of him have left me feeling like a bonded swan who has just lost her mate. I am trying to hang onto the really good reasons why it is probably a good thing he made this choice, but for right now most of me just misses him and is truly devastated. I have 3 girls from a previous marriage, and we have one son together.

Hug
Please, at some time, tell me more about him. People who claim to be numb, by the way, are usually in some form of dissociation from their authentic emotions...usually caused by emotional trauma, if not other forms of injury.

Hug
Sounds to me like you've been involved with a run-of-the-mill Narcissist. See if any of this sounds familiar:

Support Groups
Close Breakups & Divorce
Treatments
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Depends on the music. Sometimes I can't listen to anything because it hurts too much, sometimes it helps express the hurt.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Helps me to remember that I will be able to get through this, but so far only seems to ease the hurt for a day or two.
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes to help redirect my thoughts, kills time in the night when I can't sleep.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I'm sure it must be helpful, but I have to almost force myself to recognize that I need to talk to people. The hardest part is when they want to focus on the bad stuff with him, and even though I know that part is true I still hurt horribly for the part of us that was so incredible.
Close Autism / Autism Spectrum
My son is 7 years old and was diagnosed in April with autism, high-functioning and atypical.
Treatments
- Behavior Management Working / Worked
- People are telling me they are seeing a difference in him. It is most helpful in that it gives me specific tools to use to work with how he learns.
