Alone tonight, anxiety building

Divorce final this past March. Learned this week my ex is getting married next weekend. Whatever. I congratulated him. Told him I hope he was happy. Even though I left, there is still a process left for me. Brings up the feelings of abandonment all over again. I can't believe there isn't a support group on DS for divorce. Anyway, he is with our kids right now, telling them about his impending nuptials . Praying for their hearts at this moment, I hope it goes ok. I didn't think about drinking until a few moments ago. Anxiety is building. I'm gonna play some music and take a bath. The old me would be half way through bottle of wine by now. I am keeping busy. Made yummy stew and did some laundry.

Sorry, I know that must be rough. Glad you found some alternative things to do. Do you cook a lot? That\'s one of my favorite hobbies. Hope the rest of your evening goes well.

That would be a rough one, for sure. I would have some mixed feelings if my ex got married, as well (even though, like you, I chose to end the relationship.)
BTW there is a group on here for Divorce - it\'s called \"Breakups and Divorce\". I haven\'t joined yet but I do comment there once in awhile and put up an \"introducing myself to the group\" post. You should check it out. Just beware - there are a lot of \"downers\" that post there and it can get a bit depressing.....lol.

By now your kids know. Do you know how they took the news yet? Comfort stew sounds just right.
