Close Breakups & Divorce

In April 2006 my ex-husband and I were trying to get pregnant. In early May he told me he didn't want a baby. By June, he decided he was bi-sexual. By the end of June he said he was gay. By the first of July he moved out. By August I had our separation agreement signed and notarized. And by August 2007 we were divorced.

Treatments

Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful

Shocked when I actually prayed for him.

Music Somewhat Helpful

At first I found all sad songs, now I'm listening more upbeat, fun stuff.

Pets Working / Worked

My dog, Gracie, I say is my "saving Grace"

Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

On and off for 2 years now. Sometimes helpful, sometimes a joke.

Reading Somewhat Helpful

Lots of self help books were read the first year.

Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

My family has been so supportive. My parents got divorced so my mom was very helpful when it came to the girly side of divorce. I had a really good first year while we were separated. I was getting to know myself improving myself etc. I was emotional but very selfaware and I concentrated on taking care of myself. The year after the divorce was harder though. I had a very stressful school year I worked too much 3 jobs and I started dating unsuccessfully. Now I feel Im starting over.

Support Groups Not Working

DivorceCare told me I was a sinner if I got remarried.
