Divorce/Separation :
Hard To Breathe

My brain knows divorce is the right path at this time however, my heart says different. It’s difficult when I remember all the good things about him. All the things he did for me and our family. All the ways our marriage was great up until Dday. Obviously it wasn’t perfect, but for it to have gone downhill so quickly within the past year, after 13 years.

I know there are things we both need to work on and the healing needs to be done separately. It still stings. Some days I can barely breathe. I hate him and miss him at the same time.

Does this ever get easier?

Yes, it does get easier. It takes time and healing. Continue to work on your healing and allow yourself time to process through your feelings. For me, I went through the stages of grief more than once.

Hang in there.

The roller coaster will continue for a while. I found it helpful to have a little list of his most egregious betrayals and lies handy for when I felt my resolve melting. And over time I was able to really look at things and see them for them more realistically. The heart will catch up to the head.

Hang in there. Peace is coming. Sending strength and a virtual ((hug)).
