I left a domestic violence situation and can confidently tell you it's 100% better and being a single parent isn'tthat hard or dismal. I'm not sure why you feel the need to have and hold your negative talk track, but you need to continue to work with the therapist.

Fwiw I remarried a wonderful man and have never looked back.[/quote]

OP is very invested in her status as a victim. That’s part of why her friends’ response is so distressing, OP is afraid that once the divorce is finalized people will stop seeing her as a victim and she won’t be able to use it as an excuse anymore. [/quote]

What the hell are you talking about? Sorry, but if you’re joining this thread to be a jerk, please go away. I’m in no way relishing victimhood but it can also be frustrating to have friends negate some of the real challenges I’m facing. For example, a friend this morning suggesting maybe I’ll get an inheritance so I’ll be more comfortable in retirement …. that’s not a reality and sure, would be nice. But that’s not going to happen.

That said, as others have pointed out, I realize this friend means well and will keep that front and center.

But back to your unkind post. Please stop. [/quote]
