I feel as if I've been shipwrecked. Just trying to stay afloat.
Yes, that's pretty much how it feels! Suddenly you're trying to deal with the world in a whole new way. When there's someone at your side, even if it's the sh!ts, you feel differently. I know I always felt that there was a chance to turn things around no matter how bad it got...there wasn't. I spent the last five years of a seventeen year marriage trying to make it work and it was a hard five, believe me. I've just "celebrated' my three year anniversary of being separated (I got myself a colonscopy as a gift, just something special to remember it by). It's a hard go (separation, not the colonscopy...well, that too) but you'll make it, look at us...well, maybe don't look too hard but we're still afloat, you will be too.
