Husband left me 3 months pregnant...

ok BD. I won't talk you out of it. I know you talked about The Secret but we can't control other people, just our actions.

Now as a kid, what worked for me, was to have low expectations and not expect good things to happen. That way, I wasn't disappointed. And some days I wish that I had that attitude about stbxh long ago, like you do now. It might actually be more emotionally helpful to plan for the worst AND NOT HOPE FOR THE BEST!

And I do recommend that you find single parent groups on meetup or some other way. Because it has been so helpful and comforting to me and I bet the other divorcees on here.

This is sad and horrible. It will be hard. I won't lie. But we all have different "crosses" to bear! And it won't be hard every day forever! Just the next couple of years.

And these days, marriages are so disposable and divorces are a dime a dozen that I bet remarrying your ex is more common, too. I am going to look it up.
