I thought I was doing quite well. My husband walked out on me and our son 5 months ago. He has since moved in with another woman rumoured to be his girlfriend although the coward won’t admit it. He is a miserable, chronically dissatisfied, critical man who really only ever thinks about himself. Nothing I did could ever make him happy. I have sold our house, bought a new house which we will move into in a couple of weeks, filed for divorce and have tried to get on with life.
In the last couple of weeks I have started packing up the house, going through old photos, gifts and mementos. All the usual stuff that goes with a marriage. I felt like I was moving on but he is everywhere. I just feel grief stricken all over again. Can’t sleep, having nightmares when I do and I wake up sweating and panicking. I try and keep myself busy and put a brave face on but whenever I’m alone I am crying all the time. Because we have a child together I keep having to see and speak to him. Can’t even block him. I would never take him back but can't seem to stop wondering where it all went wrong. I don’t really know anyone who has been divorced that I can talk to who understands what I am going through. When does it all get better?
