How to get over ex and the drama

Need some advise. Split up from long term partner, DC involved. He has new partner but for months has been saying he wants to come back but does nothing about it. Substance abuse and helpline advised that he could be struggling to make decisions. I am fed up of getting sucked into hope that he will fix himself and we have a chance. I have done therapy for months, read self help books and still struggling to let go. What can I do? Very limited time for dating as have DC majority of the time... thanks

Keep all communication about the children. Don't worry about finding someone else right now

It takes a long time to get over the end of a relationship, so it is good that you don't have time for dating right now.

As for his intentions, it says so much about him that he has a partner while wooing you. Cruel and selfish

@Coyoacan thanks, it's been over a year and I'm still all over the place and yes agree it's cruel, selfish and worse.... particularly as DC have overheard conversation and been told he wants to come back... It's been few weeks and nothing has happened or was discussed since. Need to move on, don't know how.

I have a friend who split up with her husband after wanting out for a long time and it still took over two years to get over it.
