hey Sara()))))))))))))) it's been a while, I'm sorry you are feeling blue hon, it took me pretty much a whole year (and stbx to get a live-in gf_) for me to move on emotionally, it takes time my friend. Just do a lot of thought stopping, convince yourself that you will have a great life, eventually your brain will "buy" it. As far as your family, they think they are helping I guess. I agree with you though, I am not going to act like it didnt' happened either, I look at my M years as a stage of my life, with good and bad parts, with lots of good moments that I keep in the "closet" of my mind/heart. Now I begin a new stage, a new journey.
God wants you to have a good life, an abundant life, and for him to do so you need to have your heart open for those blessings and believe them Sara. You can and will be happy again.
Be not afraid...I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten Joel2
