[quote=Anonymous]My husband, now ex, decided to cheat and then move out. It's been about a year and on the days that my children aren't with me, I struggle to get out of bed and do basic self-care tasks. When my kids are around, it's totally different and I am able to to magically pull it together, but we alternate weeks so every other week is a nightmare. The challenge is being away from my kids and then when they come back, hearing them talk about my husband's affair partner as a wonderful new mom to them. They are young, which is a blessing for them and their resiliency but so hard for me to be away from them. I do have friends who try to reach out, but I can't stand seeing their happy husbands or feeling the pity in their tone. I have a therapist and it helps, a little, but at night the thoughts creep in that this is it for me, I will never be happy, again, I will limp through the rest of life. I vacillate between extreme anger and hatred for my ex and periods of intense self hate where I think about everything I have ever done wrong that pushed him away and ruined my life. Clearly I need help. I know I'm not the only one in this situation. How did you deal?[/quote]
