CLV, the struggles will come. It is normal, but they will dull with time. I still struggle a few days out of the week, especially when I think about the kids being raised in this manner. The OM hanging out with the kids still really gets to me as well. I am not sure if this will ever completely go away.

My ex continues to be super nice; she was not this nice when we were married. She wants to be buddies and I want nothing to do with it.

Below are some Coping Strategies I review on a daily basis:

• Allow grieving to occur
• Confidently look forward towards the future
• Exercise, sleep and eat well
• Keep a journal
• Keep busy
• Limit alcohol
• allow yourself to make a change
• keep a safe distance from your former spouse
