I can sympathize with you.

I have been separated for almost 3 years now and the one person i had to talk to when i needed to talk was Steve Davidson.... who has now been missing for 2 weeks.
He was my best friend. The person there for me when no one else was.
I have few friends and a small family but always had him to keep me from feeling totally alone.
So now what??

If you need to chat feel free to PM me as I look for the company.

Yeah, divorce sucks. Everyone's a loser when a marriage breaks up.

But...No matter how bad it gets, it WILL get better, just give it some time. Keep that in your mind. That and focus on taking care of your son and helping him through this too.

HUGS.

That light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer.

(And NO, it is not a train)

Am I too late to get in on this group hug

I know you will get over it soon, this weekend it's been 1 year since my divorce, it was really painful, specially for my kids, but I always tried to look on the bright side, I have the kids, and they still love me, so even without a wife I still have unconditional love from my kids, and it's my job to love them back and make them feel good, so I'm not allowed to wobble and feel sorry for my self, because if I do, the kids will be hurt.

some things aren't ment to last, remember the good times and forget about the bad times you had and try to enjoy life as a free person, usually the last months in a relationship that ends in a divorce are pretty bad, you might feel like a prisoner in your own home or something worse even, but now you are free, enjoy that, freedom is something you can't take for granted, it's a precious gift that we have to embrace and enjoy.

at least you have your kids, enjoy life with them, to have a spouse is not important, I know I don't want another wife any time soon, I like my freedom too much, to be able to play with my kids all day and all night, never get into fights, never feel unimportant or bad.

as soon as you start looking on the bright side of life, you'll realize that it's only you that can make you happy, if you think someone else can make you happy then you're wrong, you can only enjoy your own happiness with others, you can't get happiness from them, happiness comes from within and can't be given or taken, you have your own, you just have to find it again.

enjoy life, give your kids a big hug, there you get all the love you need, and it really helps, and start doing something you'll enjoy, and soon everything will be better.

here's a BIG HUG from me and my kids, hope you'll feel better soon.

Daniel.

We as a society tend to want the easy way in life. We forget that life is 95 percent missery surrounded by 5 percent happyness. We all know nothing good ever comes easy. She came back one day after she left. I know its gona be a hard road ahead to fix the problems. and Timmi if your all alone on the holidays, let me know your always welcome to spend them with my friends and family. NO ONE should ever spend a day like Christmas or Thanksgiving alone...NEVER....

--------------

Artist: George Strait
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Song: She Let Herself Go

Lyrics:

He wondered how she'd take it when he said goodbye.
Thought she might do some cryin': lose some sleep at night.
But he had no idea, when he hit the road,
That without him in her life, she'd let herself go.

Let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City:
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more,
She let herself go.

She poured her heart an' soul into their three-bedroom ranch.
Spent her days raisin' babies, ironin' his pants.
Came home one day from the grocery store and found his note,
And without him there to stop her, she let herself go.

Let herself go on her first blind-date:
Had the time of her life with some friends at the lake.
Let herself go, buy a brand new car,
Drove down to the beach he always said was too far.
Sand sure felt good between her toes:

She let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City:
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more,
She let herself go.

To Vegas once: Honolulu, New York City.
Came back knocked-out pretty.

There is life after this. It's not easy getting over something like this, but as you can see everyone here is here for you.

Now. While you've got the gift of the
DARK mood, quick! Run out and shoot
some stuff. Take every ounce of that
feeling and convert it to pixels. Hey!
We wanna see some of that darkness too.
Post it in here. In the challenges.
Hold your breath as long as you can.
What happened?
See you started breathing again.
Same thing happens with the rest.

Cheers;

Walt

I think you should go out and celebrate your new found freedom. If going home to an empty apartment after work depresses you. Don't go. Go out to eat take a walk through a park shoot some photos go shopping and most important meet some new people surround yourself with activity and keep your mind set on positives. Seeking a virtual hug via the internet might be a quick fix for some people but virtual is key word here.. It Goes away soon as you click the mouse.

Don't get me wrong, some good people are willing to throw some cheer your way online. But nothing beats hanging out with real faces in real places. perhaps a GTG with some fellow DPC'ers? Go out for a drink after work.

Just go out and live enjoy see and do things put your past behind you and your future on your plate and feast on it.

I went through one of those break-up's about 12 years ago for the first few months I felt the same way you do. But I realized quick that getting out and picking life up was going to be better for me than staying home bugging out on the past. Go do your favorite things. If there was anything that marriage was holding you back from doing. Go do that. Sky Dive or something. Just enjoy life it is two short to be depressed for prolonged periods of time.

Good Luck with your Future, It will be what you make it, So make it good. :-)

I've never posted such a message... But I don't know where to turn to...

I feel so very alone in this whole wide world. I am going through a very painful divorce. I have no family here in Canada (other than my child) and not too many friends that would understand.

I am so tired of crying myself to sleep every night, and waking up feeling like I don't matter to anyone anymore. I am not among those who would easily felt sorry fo myself, but it hurts so much it's hard to breathe.

I am so tired of coming home after work to an empty appartment. No one to talk to. No one who would say "honey, how was your day"... no one who would hug me and tell me that "it's going to be all OK"...

I am so very lost...

I have not been able to take a decent shot for months. I feel like the biggest looser.

Is there anyone out there who knows how I feel? Have any of you experienced such a loneliness and pain?

I appologize to those who are not interested in my tears. I am not looking for someone to feel sorry for me, I just need a hug.

Thanks for all the hugs and support.

The long hard weekend is over. My son is away for a while so it's just me and my 3 dogs. It's kind of peaceful here. It's way too quiet. Gotta turn some music on. Full blast (my teenager would be proud of me)...

I went through a very painful divorce over 21 years ago. However, I just celebrated my 20th anniversary with my current wife.

Although painful, if it wasn't for the divorce, I wouldn’t have been able to spend the last 20 years with the most incredible woman I have ever known. Also, I wouldn't have my beautiful 17 year old daughter.

I know it hurts, but remember,,,,, God has a plan.

Hang in there.

I've been around for many many years and it really does always get better.

Pretending is a wonderful way to feel better. When you are down, pretend you aren't. Smile and tell yourself that you feel great. Laugh. Even a pretend laugh helps. You might find that you sound so rediculous pretending to laugh that it really makes you laugh. :)))

You are a wonderful person and you deserve to feel wonderful. You control your feelings, not the "other person".

Feel free to PM me.
