It has really helped me. Especially being around people that don't know me as poor J whose husband left her for OW.
Oh I know that feeling! O_O Lived it the first time with "Poor Lucky... whose H left her for OW... Poor thing." Eventually I put on a strong front because I was just so darned tired of people asking me if I was okay.
H was impressed with my strong front... disappointed when he learned, years later when he found out it was a strong front I had put on. In his angrier moments he's brought that up (many times) and called me a hypocrite and even a liar.
(In before the pot calling kettle black jokes begin.)
