Sounds like a bad day for us DBers all the way around! (QS, you, me...) Well - I'm convinced tomorrow is another day! I'm going to try to be in kick-booty mode tomorrow. I'll try and think up some good one-liners!
Now: as for confidence boosters...just remember, even after the big D with my first H - when he was already living with OW - he came crawling wanting ME back! I always share this with everyone in despair (including myself) because it just shows how things can turn on a dime. Doesn't mean we count on it... but it happens. I've experienced it and I STILL have to remind myself. Even once the fat lady sings there can still be a 2nd showing. I was the one who had had enough and no longer wanted 1st H anymore. The thing is, I went through all of that and was totally by myself and let go of him without having another man to boot! You think you can't get through all of this "alone" but if I can, anyone can. Of course, my negative side wants to tell me, "Yeah...but you're not in your 20s anymore...you have 3 teenagers...you've put 20 years into this..." but I just have to keep drowning THAT voice out.
