Thank you so much for sharing your story Sue. That took a lot of courage. I can relate to a lot of what you've written, namely the PAIN and TEARS when I found myself alone. I don't have any advice for you but I can share my experience. Like you, I don't know how many times I cried when I was alone. I cried for my kids. I cried for my failed marriage. And I cried about an uncertain future. My tears eventually stopped and as I've shared in other posts, just a few months ago they eventually turned to tears of laughter and joy. My only advice to you would be to embrace all of the feelings completely. By denying the sadness and hatred, you're simply prolonging the pain in my opinion. Rather than see your alone time as a burden, perhaps try to be thankful that the kids aren't around to see you so sad and angry. I HOPE THAT HELPS IN SOME WAY! One day I realized that I'd cried and hated my ex enough. I've learned the only way out of something is through. I feel I'm now on the other side and here I've found happiness, acceptance, and forgiveness. I no longer obsess about my ex, I'm in a new relationship, and (most importantly) I'm in a new relationship with myself. I'm thinking of you Sue and wish you the best of luck on your journey. Good luck!
