just divorced

02/27/11 10:38 AM

OK, here goes......I am new to this as my divorce was final only within the past few weeks. I have my own apartment and live alone for the first time in my life. I am 47 and was married for 15 years. I have 2 daughters that I see twice per week and every other weekend as they live with their mom. The divorce proceedings lasted for one year and I have lived alone the whole time. I am having a really tough time with being alone. I am lonely and depressed all the time and cannot remember the last time I felt good or even smiled. This is all so new to me and I feel like my life has been turned upside down. I feel completely lost. I feel like a total hermit on the weekends that I am not with my kids as I have no desire to go anywhere. I am going to therapy but wanted to see if anyone could offer some feedback to help me. I try very hard to keep myself occupied but it has been vey difficult. I have all of these feelings raging through me (anger, fear, anxiety, loneliness and despair) and am trying to deal with all of it. Honestly I have resisted joining one of these forums as I just have not been ready to open up. I am not happy at all and am now feeling desperate and will try anything. I honestly did have an affair while I was married but that was only part of why the divorce happened. I was very unhappy and my ex and myself tried counseling but it did not work. I am still sort of seeing the woman I had an affair with but she herself is married and has a son. I know.....this is a mess. I was on the online dating sites which I regret doing. The woman I am seeing found out about the sites and accused me of cheating on her. We are trying to work things out but she does not trust me at all. I don't blame her. I am trying to gain back her trust as I love her very much. I know I need help in trying to put my life back together which is why I am reaching out. I know I have created a huge mess and just want to fix it all so I can be happy again. Any feedback is welcome and thanks for reading.
