" I understand how you are feeling. When I first seperated, I focused on getting things in order, then a month later I cried all the time, at work, in the car, eating out. I couldn't even watch TV for the longest time.

It will take time. Remember that we are here for you!! "

" My husband left when our baby was nine months old. I cried for three months. The crying does get less but it takes time and I still can well up over certain things and this happened 10 years ago. The pain does get less and the anger does subside - just give it time. Remember you have to grieve and it takes time. "

" you may not have this "man" in your life, but you do have this new and wonderful new life you can focus on. I'm sure your sad as hell about the whole thing. I can't imagine why a father would do that. Until he comes to terms with his dysfunction, you focus on that baby. Doing it alone can be so hard, but being completely alone is worse.
All the best to you. "

" I only started going back to church this year and when I first started going my heart would just ache..when it was time for the alter call, I would kneel to pray and just sob at times. And I have been divorced for a while now..but the pain and the heartache my children bare sometimes get to be too much for me.
It is hard to see the "happy families" at church or out to eat...or to watch the dads pushing the strollers in the mall..sometimes I think why couldn't he have been just a bit more like them.....
Let yourself cry..it's okay..really it is...you need this..this is part of the healing and it's such a release.
Take care sweety. "

" going to church has been one of the hardest things for me to do. it feels weird to be there without him. i look around and see all these families and it's just one more place i feel alone. i thought i could find refuge at church, but it doesn't feel that way at all. i know how hard it is to see families together too, that kills me, especially when we are at the kids' games, schools, etc. i has gotten easier, but somedays it hits me like a ton of bricks. all that to say, you are not alone. i feel the same way.
