Trying to cope with H, IA/EA (was Newbie-1st post)

[SDFoundGirl]

48-hour rule. You *want* to say something tonight, but it will be better if you wait until you're cool, calm and collected.

I know it's hard. I found a letter my H wrote OW back when my sitch was fresh, and it took everything in me not to go wake him up and throw him out. But I did it, and it was a better course of action.

If what you want to say to your H is the "right" thing, it will still be right when you're calm. Meantime, focus on helping your son process this. He needs to know that his dad's behavior isn't about him but about his dad.

You *can* come out the other side of this, but it is going to be tough as hell in the midst of it. How are you taking care of yourself? 180s? GAL? Really, it's all you can do, and if you include your son in some of it you'll help him navigate it all too.

If you find you can't sleep, just go journal it out or have a glass of wine and read until you can't keep your eyes open any more.
