[quote=Anonymous]OP, Start with the premise that the best revenge is to be happy, and focus on that. You're in the midst of grieving the loss of your marriage and that is completely normal. If you can swing it, find a therapist to help you work though things. Or at least pick up a book like The Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce - not the best, IMO, but a place to start. Next step is to put your life together. Take a look at the Sandcastles book, which is the gold standard on talking to kids about divorce. That will help you understand and talk to your son, and build your new family with him. (FWIW, he's grieving too, so take whatever he says with a grain of salt. Kids need both their parents, but they say hurtful things when they're hurt.) Then sit down a make a list of your hobbies and interests, and figure out how to cultivate and grow them. Find meetup and other groups that will let you meet people with shared interests. Over time, friendships will come.[/quote]
