[quote=Anonymous]Get a therapist if you don't already have one-it sounds like you're schedule is already tight, I have friends who have done therapy through telemedicine and said they were happy with the convenience. Lean on your friends, and if you feel like you don't have friends invest some time and energy in reconnecting or reaching out to new people-I was very social isolated at the time of my divorce.  I reconnected with some people, met people through my college alum network, really made an effort to connect with families at my child's daycare, joined an activist group-now I feel like I have a big network I can draw on when I need to and those people collectively make me feel so much better about life!  You might see if you can find a closed/secret facebook group for divorced parents-I'm in one for divorced queer parents, and it's great for talking through just the kind of issues you have posted about.  Finally, google "Big gray rock" if you don't already know it-it's a strategy for dealing with with people you have to be in contact with who manipulate/take advantage/push the limits.  Good luck, this is a hard time but it does get better.[/quote]
