    About Me

    Mother of 3 young children. I was with my husband for 21 years when he decided he wanted a different lifestyle and left. His new lifestyle includes another woman I suspect may have been an influencing factor in his decision to leave. We are currently separated with divorce pending.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Married 22 years to a man I would have given my life for. 9 months ago he unexpectedly left. I was 3 months pregnant with his 3rd child. He denies it but there is another woman, originally a friend of mine. I was completely unaware that he was not happy in the marriage although now he says he hasn't been happy for the past 10 years or more. He has made and done cruel things since he left and I'm reeling. I'm totally devastated and trying to find a way to get through the day.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      Personal therapy once a week. Doesn't seem to be helping.
      Reading Not Working
      Immediately after husband left, I went on an obsessive reading binge about divorce, reconciliation, affairs, moving on... i was looking for answers that weren't in any books. Still have the books but can't even read them anymore without having a panic attack.

      Worked, but I feel like a burden to them
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      Was admitted to psych facility for a couple of weeks and then went into and intensive outpatient therapy program. It probably saved my life but I'm no longer in the program and still dealing with even harder issues.

      Talking with friends, family and therapists. Sometimes makes me feel better and sometimes worse.
