I was seriously, seriously depressed. When X told me our M was over and he was in love with another woman, and then a couple days later my brother had a brain tumor (luckily was benign) I felt it too much to handle all at once. I was seriously depressed and got on ADs and therapy. X was also really insulting/criticizing/yelling at me that last year so my self-esteem was non-existent. I wonder if he planned even then all this stuff so far in advance, or maybe he's just an a$$....
I have been getting progressively better the past 2 years though, but I would say for at least a month I was a total mess, but luckily my Christian beliefs and I'm not sure either a wimp or some strength in me stopped me from trying anything. I feel like an a$$ now that I ever thought X was so important to have in my life (ha!) and my brother is fine now.
I was thinking about emailing my L about what happened this morning. If nothing else, maybe she could email his L and warn him not to intimidate/harass me like that, and make it on the record and stuff. That such a person could get full custody of my kids....
