You will get through this.
You can and you will.
It hurts so badly, but you know you are strong.
Show the kids that misfortune doesn't define who you are.
Get that booty out of bed and kick ass!!!

Show your kids you are a warrior. We need to redefine ourselves and you are not alone. We are all doing it now. Get into DivorceCare, take meds, see a counselor and get those kids back so you can have their support and they can have yours. You need each other. HUGS

Hi there, i feel your pain. please know that though this is a sad time and a very difficult one- it does get better. I know that its hard to believe but it does. My daughter saved me, she is the apple of my eye and your kids are too. They love their mother and thats what you need. When my daughter was 4 months old, i discovered my husbands plans to leave us for another women, "freedom" whatever and he ruined my mat leave and first year of motherhood, but i WONT let him anymore. It was hard i still cry sometimes but i believe in myself and i believe in you. Try to give your self a small goal a day, whatever your challneges are and in time it will improve. Be the Hero for you and your kids. I know you can! This will make you stronger.

Hi, so nice to meet you. You have to hang in there right now, for your kids. Our stories are different yet the same. Your kids need you, and I have a mentally handicapped sister that needs me. Our fathers just died. I just made a post about how hard this week is for me, and I get why it is for you too. Please feel free to message me if you want to chat. I am here for you and need good friends right now as well. XOXO

I feel your pain and am sure darker days are ahead of me. What I love about this site is knowing others are going through the same thing....and hearing from those who've made it to the other side.

One of my favorite quotes is, "At any given moment you have the power to say, "This is not how my story is going to end.'" Get out of that bed, put on some uplifting music, watch a comedy movie, treat yourself like the queen you are, tell yourself you are powerful, loved by your friends, and you are beautiful, and hug those kids because brighter days are ahead. Hugs :)

I've always been so hopeful and powerful. This seperation has rocked my core. You name it outside of injecting myself with drugs I have tried to stop this pain. Our lives were ok. We did the best we could. Why he wanted to have our kids going back and forth between two homes I will never know. I'm not a quitter. To me he quit on us. Was I that impossible to please?

I really wish that there was something we could do or say that would magically make this all go away. The hardest thing to do is to stop thinking of the could've, should've, would've 's. We can't change what is done. Many have already commented and I agree with most; "Show the kids that misfortune doesn't define who you are." "Show your kids you are a warrior." "know that though this is a sad time and a very difficult one- it does get better." "This is not how my story is going to end."... Although I know words fall short at this time and it can be so very difficult to see that things will get better, that doesn't change the reality that they will. Don't allow yourself to be defeated by this situation. I know, easier said than done. You have to allow yourself the opportunity to process and heal. Then start to put the pieces together and figure out what tomorrow is going to look like for you and your family. Don't allow this person to rob you of who you are and where you can be. I will be praying for us all. God bless you. - Hugs
