Here's my story..midlife crisis/infidelity

Hi JG--

Just finding your thread and wanting to offer hugs and warmth.

I don't have children, so I won't offer advice on that end.

The packing up is brutal. I somehow managed to "gaily" help X move some stuff into the other half of the duplex. Later, when he finally agreed to move out, I put together some boxes of personal stuff and medical stuff for him. I don't think he took it in the way I intended it!

Flowmom is incredibly brave about "stuff" just being "stuff". When I realized that we moved his college futon into the apt. and thus X and OW were having at it in the bed we first slept together in...well. I will work on 'things are just things."

I do advise going to the doc for sleep/anti-anxiety/anti-D meds. It has helped me a lot. I am trying melatonin for my 3-5 am insomnia. Seems to help a bit.

Exercise is also huge. Even just a short walk a day can help.

I could echo Flowmom's advice about only worrying about the present, but since I am a total failure at that, I can only say "it sure seems like a good idea!"

Strength to you--
