I am so sorry you are going through such a difficult time.
I am posting because I left my husband after 9 years of marriage, with 2 small children in tow. (This was 12 years ago now)
It was the scariest thing I have ever done. Each day was like a mountain I had to climb just to get to the end of the day. I cried a lot,even at work! The only way I could cope with it was to only look at one day at a time. Gradually I was able to look a little bit further and allow myself to look a week ahead, then two and then a month. There came a point when I stopped having to worry and life just took over again.
The good news is that there is life after....and it is often much better. It might take you a while to realise this but it will happen Gilda. I think it is good that you go to counselling.
I have remarried to a wonderful man. Don't tar all men with the same brush, don't become bitter.When you are ready, Mr. Lovely will turn up.
Big hugs to you. I think you are probably doing better than you think. Read anything you can to guide you through the difficult bits and watch good movies with a big box of chocs nearby. Treat yourself often, you deserve it.xxx
