how to adjust
|
Hello all, I guess I'm just trying to find a way to adjust after divorce from my now ex wife. We were together for 18 years, married for 13. It's been 6 months since this all started and it was very sudden, and I've been deeply depressed ever since. For the last five years I have been a stay at home dad with two daughters and am having a hard time getting back to taking care of myself. The job market stinks and I have never balanced a check book or paid bills and it's really hard. For the sake of my children I have not gone after the ex for support and walked away with nothing but a broken heart.
I have the girls every weekend and up till now have covered the bills but am facing some hard times. Luckily I was able to land a very good job but after business dropped off a couple weeks ago I was let go and have been unable to find anything yet.
I'm done feeling sorry for myself and refuse to live in anger and bitterness any more. Communication with the ex is hard as she will only do so through text message or email and continues to lie and tell half truths to get her way. I no longer cling to the foolish hope of reconciling and just want to have a healthy relationship and well adjusted kids.
Still have trouble sleeping through the night and just want to get better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, she got all the friends in the divorce and I haven't had too many people to turn to for advice.
