DG, it's super hard to cope with those emotions when you don't have time to yourself. (((hugs)) . I can relate to how there was a lot of numbness before the sitch hit the fan. It really helped me to read The Journey from Abandonment to Healing: Turn the End of a Relationship into the Beginning of a New Life. It helped me to understand where my feelings were coming from and how to cope with them. I know you probably don't have time to read books right now, but I hope that you can make some time for self care...we can't afford to fall apart in these situations when our children are depending on us. Remember how strong you are even when you feel gripped by emotions. You might want to talk to your doctor. What I notice is that most LBS are struggling more with anxiety than depression, and many LBS have posted that anti-anxiety medications have helped them survive their sitches. This is a time in your life to lean on others and use any resources that are available to you. Whatever gets you through the day!! take care...
