[quote=Anonymous]My sister is about 6 months out from divorcing her husband after 17 years and she has a 6 yo DS.  Sounds like she was in a similar situation where she really loved her DH and wanted to make things work but he was intent on leaving.  After a lot of anger and then depression and sadness, she finally accepted it and is moving on.  Her DS has had some issues and she has a therapist for him.  She's finally at a stage where she is realizing that this was for the best (she's seeing many of his issues that she was blind to before).  She was able to keep her house after buying him out of his half and refinancing.  She has a strong support system of mom friends, a few who are sadly in the same boat.  And of course she has her family.  It has a been an emotional roller coaster for her over the past 2 years since he first told her he wanted out, but she is 100% OK and you will be too.  She is 44 years old, has a job she loves, and at some point will start dating again.  Try not to think about the future so much, and concentrate on one day at a time.  She would get really overwhelmed when her mind raced ahead to all the future what-ifs.  She now has a civil, almost amicable relationship with her ex, he has 50% custody which they agreed to, and were about to divorce with mostly a mediator and minimal lawyer involvement.  She has let go of her anger and has moved on, and you will too.[/quote]
