hi - i am new here. going through a very rough divorce, one that i did NOT want. my oldest daughter has gone to live w/him. i hardly see her. We have been seperated since the beginning of the year. Found out recently he is dating. i am finding it very difficult to come to terms with my marriage being over, all the promises he made to me, how he told me how much he loved me, to this, and now feeling like I have been so easily replaced. I am in counsiling - he tells me that time is really the only thing that will help. I am battling depression and trying to just get a handle on what is happening in my life. i never thought i would be in this situation. I want to turn the clock back and have my life back. Would appreciate any thoughts or advice on how you handled your divorce and these types of feeling - what you did to cope. is there life and HAPPINESS after a divorce???

The fact you found this place will help you immensely. I say that cause I cant believe the progress I've made since coming here. She is right...we may not be able to answer all your questions but this place and members are the biggest SUPPORTERS you'll find around. Read our journals and you'll see that were all here for the same thing....help, support, and advice for this journey we all seem to be on. As for coping I just have to keep telling myself that I cant change the past(for me anyways) so I guess acceptance is the key 4 me...yet I still breakdown as a human sometimes...but what i've learned is that its all part of the healing.... Stay strong!

Welcome, I’m new too, I started yesterday and I feel much better already, I hope you do too. I was telling someone about how the last 10 years of my life were disappointing and then I was challenged to think about the next 10 years of my life and to just think about what I want to achieve and do different and it got me thinking about a lot of things that gave me some hope. Try to do that, think about positive things that you want to change and achieve on your own and focus on yourself! I’m sure your married years were focused on your husband and family, now it is your time to just do things that you always wanted and were not able to because of your marriage.
I still have some hard days but I keep telling myself that one day it will get better, so I hope you find a way to make yourself feel better as well. Good luck. I will pray for you!!

Sit down on the sofa with us, we keep the tissues under the cocktail table. Formal attire isn't required (I personally hang out here in tank tops and some boxer shorts). None of really wanted to find ourselves h ere, but we gain strength through each other, share some tears, some laughs, some hugs.....it's nice to have you here. Sit and stay as long as you like!

You are definitely in the right place. You'll get lots of support here and we understand what you are feeling. It is a real roller coaster ride, and I don't think there is any way around it, you just have to get through it. Happiness? I sure hope so!
