Keep getting flashbacks

I am working away from home at the moment and have asked my solicitor not to let me know when my divorce is through as I dont want to be on my own a long way from friends nd family.

The trouble is I keep getting flashbacks of upsetting scenes. Coming home from work to find my husbands car packed up to leave, my son and I hugging in the kitchen crying our eyes out, my husband telling me he wanted a divorce.

I thought I was getting over things. It's been eighteen months since he walked out. I don't want him back. But I am still finding myself in tears.

If you havent experienced flashbacks before, they're most probably occuring because you know that your divorce will be through any day now.

I know you've said that you don't want to know while you're away from home but, frankly, it may be better to know your marriage is legally over and deal with it asap.

What can friends/family give you that you can't provide for yourself or that you can't access via Skype or phone calls?

I'm still in tears all the time, most particularly when something else goes wrong or I cant do something. I dont want my cheating ex back at all but I am anxious about my new life and miss the certainty of my old life. I miss that. It does just seem to take time.
