[quote=Anonymous]I learned how to compartmentalize.

I went to therapy every week. I still go every week.

I let go of people and learned to ignore those in real life or online who projected their fears/hatred/misogyny/trauma onto me, including people I had considered family and friends. Those who remain in my life are top quality.

I took care of myself, because no one else was going to. Even though you may want to give up, your kids need you, and they need a healthy, happy you. Don’t skip doctor appointments, exercise, eating well. It’s very hard when all you want to do is cry, but invest in yourself and you will be ok.

You can do this OP. My divorce took over 3 years from filing to finalizing. My ex lied, alienated people in my life, I was living paycheck to paycheck since all of our assets were on hold, I worked full time, I lived far from my support system. I have no idea how I got through it all but I did. I look better now than I did when I was married. I took a class online when ex had the kids (I know you said you have primary, but do something that’s just for you when you can). I started dating. I leveled up professionally and went out and networked. I don’t know who the woman who married him was, but the woman I am now deeply respects herself and is a badass who could care less about the harpies on DCUM. I found love and a stable relationship.
