I can't go on like this any longer.
Sigh. I realize I have been struggling too long without any support. So now that I have successfully relocated, I have decided to seek out a women's center for reduced or free counseling and also inquire about support groups. Even though I have heard negative things about support groups, I have decided that I am going to at least try it out. After all, I have nothing to lose since I have already lost everything. All I know is that I can't keep going through life anymore with so much suffering. Almost everyday I feel like another piece of myself dies. Eventually there will no longer be any life left in me.

Kudos to you for doing good things to take care of you!
It\'s true that not all support groups are great, but, some are. And, it\'s a foot in the door where you can get other referrals and find out about other groups in the area.
You might even check out a 12 step group called CoDA (codependents anonymous). One of the things they say is try more than one group to see which one is right for you. There you will meet people who are more than happy to share info about helpful tools and good therapists.
As always, trust your inner knowing as to which group is right for you.

:( I\'m so sorry you are suffering everyday. I am in the same boat. Remember that you are not alone. That\'s great that you are seeking help in the women\'s center and support groups. Keep us updated on how it goes.
I forget where I learned this. It was either in a science class or a 12 step meeting. The one law that Life follows from plants to animals to humans is CHANGE OR DIE. Adapt, grow, move to better environments, learn... or just decay into nothingness. So movement is positive, learn skills, shed old dead skin for new, shinier scales or feathers, evolve, adapt, CONQUER, dammit! You are doing fine, just keep moving.
