Re: newly separated and feeling bad

Terry,
I can relate. Although fortunately there were no kids involved, I finally demanded that my ex-husband leave and never come back. He is bi-polar, and was very controlling and abusive. He left, for the LAST time, in July. I was ecstatic when I regained my freedom. And, since our marraige had been dead emotionally and legally for some time, I had met another man online. We have since met and are taking things very slowly and cautiously. I am delighted with my new relationship, but I am also depressed about the loss of my previous dreams. It has taken a couple of months for the full impact of the loss to hit me. It helped that I had someone to support me emotionally. but I know that these feelings have to be dealt with. I know they have nothing to do with my new romantic interest. It's just difficult learning to love ME again; and I know that loving someone else is not the answer. Therapy helps, but you have to be honest with yourself. And you have to love yourself enough to insist on a relationship that is not abusive!!! In other words, feeling badly is not enough of a reason to go back to that. I know because we had already tried that-BIG MISTAKE. It only gets worse. Hang in there, being alone is much better than being abused.
