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
