SR, I've heard lots of stories, which means there's no template to follow. I had a Realtor friend tell me that within the past year -- four years after her divorce -- she finally feels normal.
I had a coworker tell me something that truly concerned me. He's been married to his second wife 20 years or so. They've raised a son together. He said EVERYTHING about the second marriage is better than the first. Yet, he said he still thinks about his first wife at least once a week.
The kid thing is extremely hard because you just don't see the damage. Not until years later.
