Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
You could always ask for their understanding and be open with them. If they have someone they love maybe they can try to imagine how they would feel.
I could tell you about an experience I've had and you could empathize but truely never understand my feelings.
I'm not saying they are right.I'm simply saying that if I see a news story about something that breaks my heart,I still could never begin to see how the victims feel about it.I could envision it but not FEEL it.
Tell them that they are hurting your feelings more.Everybody grieves differently and in their own time frame.
Please try to understand that you have not walked in my shoes or can ever understand the kind of pain and distress that I am in the midst of right now. So please no advice right now, I really can not handle it at this moment in time.
Thank you for understanding.
hell print it out on a card and hand out.
I have one friend who can really kick my butt and make me get back up and keep walking...she doesn't issue platitudes. She doesn't tell me that there will be someone New-she says that maybe there won't (argh)
But, she has known me for a long enough time to Know what I am made of. Barb has no problem manipulating the Hell out of me to get me back on my feet. She just uses the Truth.
You need to find That Friend and put a bit of distance between you and the rest for a bit.
I'm an aggressive person so this is not out of character for me, so you should adjust to your style but I find that honesty works the best and people usually never offer you advice anymore but just support.
They start saying things like....How are you today? and Stay Strong.....
