[quote=Anonymous]I'm dealing with a very hostile divorce. It's taken more than a year with no end in sight. I think I'm coping as best I can. I'm too overwhelmed to try to date. I'm not mentally there in part because want to spend all the time and energy I have with my DC.

The embarrassing part of this is that there is a long-ago infatuation I never was able to get to know due to marriage primarily. I think the basis of this is far more fantasy than reality. It's still upsetting. I found out via social media that the crush is divorcing and his/her spouse is really shocked and angry.

I'm pretty upset about it. Any tips to get over something like this? I really want to stop idealizing this person. I haven't talked to anyone about it - it really does sound stupid. My therapist just thought it's fine to have a fantasy figure given all I'm dealing with. I doubt I revealed adequately how upsetting this all is.

I have focused on my child, my own life and personal development, self-care, etc. It's still very upsetting I have had such difficulty getting over this infatuation. [/quote]
