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.
When I ran into people giving their phony sentiment I told them to save it, I was glad we split
"Our marriage hasn't worked out, and we're getting a divorce. It would really help me to talk about something else. What's going on with you?"
If you were to say, "She cheated on me, we're getting divorced", that would certainly put a stop to any further questions or conversation, but you may not want to reveal that.
Maybe after getting support here for a while you'll be able to talk about it with people you know and that love you.
The minute I let it out and told my mother, father, sister, a few friends, that's when I started feeling better. You need to be reminded that there are people who still care about you.
But for every person I told, I felt better. and some people were surprised and expressed regret, which I didn't like - I immediately said, I am happier now, we are happier now (meaning my kids). Everything is better and we are going to be alright. That set the tone for them not to lament.
There is always a group of people who think they need to decide for themselves whether you need to be getting divorced or not. When I encounter one of these, I tell them that I'm not discussing private details - and how amazing it is that some people think they need to decide for themselves whether you should be getting divorced or not!
Like I said, I haven't had anyone push for details. If someone did, I think I would stand my ground with a comment along the lines of "I'm not up for talking about it just yet, but thank you for your concern. It's nice to know I have friends when I need them."
Hang in there and remember, you need to take care of you right now. You don't owe anyone an explaination.
