Elllis

I re-read your post and just wanted to share a few additional thoughts.

- I too have that life is ending, not beginning feeling. That is because we are the divorce opposers. It is going to take a long time for that feeling to pass.

- GAL - You have to force yourself to get out and do things.

Join a gym. (great)
Make new friends. (takes time)
Join a divorce support group. (very helpfull, caring people)
Do things with the kids.

- Therapy - I think therapy would really help bring out the best in you.

- "Thrown away feeling" - I told my W yesterday that I felt like I was kicked to the curb.

We all make mistakes, we are human. The difference is that some of us truly understand commitment and others will always do what's in their self interest instead of doing the work to make things better.

Take care Ellis. You sound terrific.
