Is this the next stage?

[Fairycake2]

I feel really angry with my STBX today. Is this the next stage in the getting over him process? He left me a month ago saying he didn't like my daughter and could no longer be a step dad. He's got some mental health issues and he's completely cut me off. Wouldn't even come and see me to tell me it was definitely over but text instead. He's moved all his stuff out and only talks about sorting the house out. I feel angry that he's done this and wouldn't even try and work things out. Please tell me I'm getting there and will be over this stage soon?

@Fairycake2 perhaps. It’s a step in the right direction, possibly. I hope so.

IME the anger lasts a good 4-6 months, or until you find out he's had a terrible personal crisis (that doesn't affect anyone else) mwah-ha-ha!

I think you're right to be angry and I think that is a better emotion than pining for him. Of course the anger won't last forever but use it to remind yourself of why he's actually no good for you.

I'm hoping the anger is a good sign and it means the tears and sadness has stopped. Am so looking forward to feeling 'normal' again.

@EvenMoreFuriousVexation a personal crisis would be good 😂
