Not cleaning up my mess plus loud crying plus starting running again is how I‘m surviving so far. I‘m hoping this book will helps because two of those things are not sustainable. Anyone else been through this? Any other book recs? We were together for 19 years and it was my call to split, but after 2 months he‘s already got a new girlfriend and it‘s destroying me.
marleed Ohhh, I‘m so sorry. Please know you are wrapped in warm virtual hugs. 4y
mcipher @marleed Thank you! I‘m hoping the more I talk about it and share it the easier it will become. 4y
marleed I think it‘s so important to talk. I wish I knew how to give you my number so you could talk to me and just throw it to the universe. 4y
