Home alone while hubbie away with eldest son.

[conway]

feeling low as Hubbie just gone today to Spain with our son,age 13.. I am at home with our other son age 8. I have started divorce proceedings and just waiting for him to sign the form. He is incomplete denial and even before going away asked me to still come. For a moment I nearly went as it is place we have many happy memories and it was booked before divorce proceedings started. I feel very sad and am worried about my son. Please give me advice for how to cope. Sometimes I think maybe I should just stop divorce proceeding.
Feeling very low,please help.

Have you seen your GP? Feeling low is very, very natural given the situation, but there's no need to suffer.

What support have you got in place? Do you have the company of friends or the confidence of counselling, for example?

(Why are you worried about your son? Why did only one son go on holiday??).

Sorry for all of the questions.

I think you need to talk to people who understand your situation and support your decision. Any big life-changing choice comes with doubts attached. That's normal. So you need someone to reassure you that you're doing the right thing. Preferably IRL but if you want to summarise the reasons for your decision here, I'm sure you'll get support.

Cog ,what does IRL mean?
I have got a counsellor and am on low dose anti- depressants but feel this is holiday is a big step.
My youngest is only 8 and I thought it would be better if he stayed with me which he is happy about. My 13 year old has gone as I thought he would be ok and him and his dad can continue watching football which they enjoy. Also selfishly I thought he can put up with his teenage moods!
I can't help thinking what they are doing now and they are only just boarding the plane!

Have you spoken to the counsellor about this holiday and the feelings it's generating? What was their advice? (Obviously you don't have to answer on here!).

I'm still not sure why you're worried about your son. Sounds as though they have a fabulous time planned together.

IRL - In Real Life (as opposed to online). Who do you have in your life that could come round for a cuppa, or you could pick up the phone to them, and who knows what you're going through?
