I am new to your story and of course like everyone else here I feel the pain you are going through.
And I am in no way belittling what your WW has put on you, I believe she and POSOM are going to find their own corner of hell down the road.
And others here have given you great advice.
I just wanted to add something. In our family when one of us gets down we of course try to help that person get thru their pain. We spend time talking to them and help them find a path out of it.
But part of what we do is together go perform some type of volunteer work. Usually help out at a soup kitchen or buy Xmas gifts for the less fortunate and deliver them ourselves under The purview of a local charity or read to seniors in an assisted living facility, or volunteer in a hospital or mentor students at the public schools.
We try to remind ourselves that outside of those in our lives whom we interact with on a daily basis there are many people that can really use our help out there. It shows us we don’t have the corner on problems in our lives.
In addition we meet so many beautiful people that we would never have gotten to know.
Now I am not a religious person. But I do believe that life is a gift. And each day you have an opportunity to do something different with it. As others have said here, use the opportunity to try something new. Travel across the US or around the world. You don’t have to be rich to do it. Live in different cities for a few months. Take small jobs, bar tending or teaching community ed or something else to pay the bills. Use Meetup or other types of social media sites to find groups interested in the same things you are in each town.
Hit the national parks and commune with nature.
Let the lawyers deal with the D. Let the outcome go. It will be whatever it will be. Its not worth wasting brain cells on.
There are so many more important things to think about in the world. There are so many more important people to let occupy your mind than WW and POSOM. Don’t let them take from you what you can do for a portion of the rest of the worlds population the next 20 or 30 years.
Like others have said here, need someone to vent to? PM me. We can talk.
You are a good guy and there are literally hundreds of thousands of people on earth that would like to get to know you.
Most of them are great folks and many of them could use your help.
Take care friend.
