Hi Sunshiny,

Happy to help if we can, how about some more details of your situation? When did things start to go bad originally and why? What have you done to 180 / GAL, etc.?

WRT GAL, if you're in a new place I find EDITED - ADVERTISING NOT ALLOWED can be a good resource, you can look for a group in your area you're interested in and "just show up" -- low pressure. You can also start your own meeting around something you want to do.

In my area, there is a meetup for separated / recently divorced. If there's not one in your area, consider posting one.

We all need different things to get us through. I did find solace in better understanding married relationships in general. Anyone here will tell you to read DB and DR. Additionally, I really liked "The 5 Love Languages" and "How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It" (and I've read a *lot* of relationship books at this point)

For me, it really helped me understand how things went bad, and what I needed to do when things started to come back together. Knowledge is power in that regard. If reading is your thing, those are a good place to start.
