My fiance and I broke up about a month or so ago. He has moved out and we are not talking. He's the only reason I was in this godforsaken state.

I have no one here. No family, no friends. I have my kids, but they aren't people I can talk to about the way I'm feeling. I have to pack up this whole 5 bedroom house by myself. I can barely get up to do dishes, but I can shop like nobody's business.

I guess there's no real point to this post. Just venting a little. I don't know anyone on the boards right now, but any support, votes of confidence, anything would be appreciated. Thanks.

That sucks. Well, we do own our decisions for better or worse.
It's good to vent so go ahead. If you can get mad then you have the energy to make things better, even if it does take awhile.
Life teaches us many lessons and as long as we're willing to learn we tend not to have to repeat them!

If you have anyone who can help you please ask them to help. Packing and moving is a real chore. Keep talking to us and vent away if you need to. Sometimes we have to take things in baby steps and just put one foot in front of the other. It isn't easy but it is possible. I truly wish you the best.

I know all too well what you are going through. I moved to Syracuse, NY with my ex husband, we broke up, my whole family on the west coast. No one to help me and the ex's whole family abusing me when they could, at work, home, anywhere they saw me. It was a nightmare. I had to pack up my two kids and all of our stuff alone. It was very hard on me but I am here to tell the tale...I pray you will be ok and that you find the strength to do what needs to be done! HUGS!

Oh Hanna.......
I'm so sorry that you're feeling so alone and depressed at the moment. You do have a huge job ahead of you getting moved......do you plan to move closer to your family? I hope so. Move closer to people who love you and will support you. Little by little your life will fall back into place, and this will be a bad memory. This guy was no good for you, and you know it.

You're gorgeous and kind, and you will absolutely meet someone who will treat you the way you deserve. Just don't settle for the first guy who comes along. You can be choosy. Look for QUALITY. I truly wish you the best. I know this has to be a really hard time for you. (((((HUGS)))))

You are not alone. I went through a similar thing about 3 years ago with my ex-fiance. For several months our relationship had been long distance due to his job. One day out of the blue, he said it was over, no explanation, no nothing. I felt so hurt, so humiliated, and so stupid. Fortunately, I moved closer to my family which were instrumental in me healing from this experince along with a good therapist. You will move beyond this and be stronger for it, it will just take time. Also, don't jump into another relationship too soo, it will most likely end it disaster. Just message me anytime you want to talk. ((((Hug))))

Hannah I am so sorry you are going through such a hard time right now. I wish I had all of the magic words to make you feel better. This too shall pass, I promise. Just take it day by day and if you need to vent just come here and vent. We are here for you. You are never alone!
