I Am Stronger Because of All I've Been Through

Tonight I'm not feeling strong. I'm feeling weak and scared. I can't stop crying. I'm usually positive, optimistic and not one to wallow... but, I guess being human I'm allowed to feel this way once in a while.

My husband and I are separated. Currently living in the same house but I need to just get the divorce and move apart. He has a new girlfriend and it is ripping me apart. It's not so much that I want him back but the fact he moved on so quickly. Like the past 22 years with me meant nothing...

Everyone says I will be okay. Most days I believe it... tonight I'm struggling.

One day, some man will see my worth and treasure me. I've always given more than I've gotten. Just once I want to feel what it's like to get that in return...

You will! Everything is too fresh. Living in the same house is pretty hard to move on with. Time is the healer that you have not been given yet. Hang in there and find a good distraction. You have been strongly affronted in this situation, but you can take the high road and come out so much stronger where you emerge.
