Hello group


its been a long time since I've spoken on here, and I just wanted to clear my mind. A little over a year ago I came to this group broken and hurt from my Ex leaving me and getting a new guy. I wasn't sure if I would make it pass the end of last year. But this group and the friends I've had in here helped a lot. Before this group, I really felt alone. I felt like no one else in the whole world was going through what I was going through. I was glad to see it was people out here who understood my pain and my story. Even though I'm much better now, I still miss my ex and at times, hope I would see her again. Its strange that a person can want someone or something even though they know it's not good for them. But I guess that's life.


i wish everyone in this group the best as you all go through your process and journey to recovery. I wish I knew what to say that could make the pain end quickly. But since I don't I just say this, try your best not to give up, and know your not alone

hugs my friend. You are still at the starting gate. You need to focus on yourself. Need to put yourself first. Learn to love, honour and respect the number one person, that is you. You can be your own best friend forever. Learn to like being by yourself. No Contact is the way to go. I hope you have your own lawyer and a good therapist. You sound that you are going forward. They say it take one year for every 4 or 5 years of a relationship to move on, to heal. It took me over 5 years to really start feeling like myself. Sometimes, we have to take a step back to see how far we have gotten. When you see her, just smile, turn around and walk away. I hope you are not following her on any social media. Remember this, "if they can do it with you, they can do it to you" hugs again and stay safe and strong.

    I've been struggling lately on what to do with my life since I no longer have a caregiver role. I decided to write a list of hobbies and things I like to do as a reminder to myself. I encourage you to create your own list of likes/hobbies/or things you'd like to try. Here's a few of my things:Going to the beachTrying new restaurantsMaking lists/planning for the future Road...

    People who were alive during 9/11/2001 have a story of how the attacks on the USA impacted their lives. Feel free to share.....I graduated from law school on Sat, Sep 15, 2001 at age 24.  Many families did not attend the graduation ceremony because the airplanes were grounded.  I was a law clerk for a certain government agency for two years while in law school and was looking forward to a great...
