Try to practice gratitude.

People need to be very intentional about how they live their lives. Daily decisions impact long term goals.
Op I’d dump the hubby, get the kid in therapy, and move on with your life.

Yes. I let a breakup ruin the last almost 10 years of my life. I became a recluse and gained so much weight that I now cant get off. I don't have a solid career and I lost majority of my friends. If you had asked me 10-15 years ago, I would have a ton of great friends, a good job that I enjoy, a family. I have none of it and it makes me just lose hope all the time

So, yeah, hunky dory over here. FML. I really just want to run away and never come back.

I’m so sorry. I hope things turn a corner for you soon. Please try to take whatever scraps of joy you can whenever you can.

I am glad that you gave a healthy child. That is the ultimate gift/love.
