Don't be so hard on yourself.

Do you have children? Start by treating yourself to self care, a trip with your friends or solo. I found that getting out into nature was really good for me recovering from my divorce. I’m two years post divorce and my ex is a narcissist so coparenting is extremely difficult. I’m having to hire an attorney to send a letter telling him to only communicate to me via coparenting app because he sends strings of harassing, threatening and angry texts at all hours of the night. It’s not easy but I’m so much happier on my own. Sending good thoughts!

I’m going to start therapy again next week. I need to figure out the best approach to response/no response for the benefit of my daughter. I feel like narcissistic abuse is much more common lately, or maybe just now we are more aware of it. Really glad you didn’t have too many ties to your ex, that will make your healing a bit easier to navigate. Best wishes!

I'm sorry about the separation. It will be difficult for a good amount of time but know this - eventually time heals all and it gets better. Keep yourself distracted with hobbies, workouts, travel. Pick up something new. If spending a few thousand $$ isn't a concern, get a sport pilot license, take a scuba diving instructor led course, consciously engage in something that makes you look forward to the next day. Self care is absolutely paramount.

I don't recall where I heard this but this separation will be the first thing that you think of every morning you wake up, for some time. And then one day, it'll be the second. You'll know you're getting better then. Wishing the best for you! It gets better. Hang in there.

Honestly exercise. It’s my outlet for a lot, if you’re in the Chicago area I’ll happily lift with you a few times and lend an ear if needed.

Some relationships don’t work out and that’s ok. Maybe become a plant dad? I found having some plants to care for is really beneficial for my MH even tho it’s something small. Remember you are worthy and lovable.

Yeah, one day at a time. And don’t be too harsh on yourself. With time, everything will be okay - and you will soon come to realize that this was the best thing that happened to you

Same here going through Divorce process 29 M. I feel you. Let me know if you want to chat.

Get a dog or golden retriever for hiking and walk. The dog will make you get out of your house. Meet people, enjoy the outdoor and most importantly leave your past behind and look forward to better time. A dog is truly an unconditional love of your life. My golden retriever was my best friend through my divorce and my current husband proposed to me with the ring together with my golden retriever. It’s a package deal (dog, me and him) - win win!🎉

uplifting

Sorry to hear that man. You’ll get through it just like you got through everything else.

uplifting

I don’t. But I’m sending you a hug. Everything happens for the best

Oh yeah get a dog. A puppy that will be your best friend. And ALSO (this may be a bit soon) help you pick up your next lady friend. Good luck and all the best

Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!
