the papers
well she hit me with the papers today. no conflicts with the kids. she is not wanting any custody or child support issues. since im 100% daddy and she knows i will always be there and support my kids. its still painful tho. i knew this day was coming. now what? i sit around all day everyday missing my kids, missing my life. all alone and no friends. no one to even give me a hug. pat me on the back, nothing. how long can i deal with the total aloneness? how long will i stay sane?

I\'m so very sorry. I went through the same thing with the loneliness. I didn\'t think I would make it through it. Please just don\'t do what I did. I was hurting so badly I was even suicidal for a while, so I began dating way too soon. It was a HUGE mistake and I have had to hurt someone else because of it. Give yourself plenty of time and don\'t let the pain steer your direction. Allow yourself to feel the pain completely, but don\'t bottle it up and don\'t allow it to totally consume your life. Have you thought about going to some of the Meetup groups at Meetup.com? That\'s a healthy way to get out and make new friends without there being any pressure to date anyone. Also, have you heard of the support group Divorce Care? Most churches have a Divorce Care support group that meets once a week. It\'s great because you can get things off your chest in person with people who are going through the same thing you are. And of course, feel free to write to me on here anytime you are lonely. :) Hang in there! I promise with all my heart that it gets better! I am finally starting to see some normalcy in my life again.
