Just wanted to share my experiences on the friendship front. I cut off all my friends when things got bad. My head was in too much of a mess thinking and thinking and thinking about the R and wondering what had I done wrong to deserve this... and how D would affect the kids?
As I began to GAL and enjoy my life again (most of the time, anyway), I began to do more outside the home and made new friends. My new friends are great! Calm, confident, happy with who they are - perhaps the way I want to be. I have NOT shared my R history with them - and that's the way I like it. I want to relax and enjoy being a normal person who isn't obsessing about her R 80% of all her waking moments (not bad, huh, down to only 80%)
Uh oh, rambling...
So, all I am trying to say is, don't give up hope on finding emotional support. R emotional support you WILL get here. But the more support the better, right? So please be open to meeting new people and making new friends
