GM it does take years to heal. I am going on my 4th year being divorced and I am just now starting to enjoy my life again. Where can we find "the shift"? My ex is drinking and being controlled by his young new wife. He gave up what he loved, all his hobbies and is being led around by the nose and I assume enjoying it....for now! If this is what happiness is to him than he can have my part of it. I only know this because son told me.
They will see, it will take awhile for some but it will come full circle. They are not our issue now. We were left holding the bag but this storm shall pass in time. You are doing so much better than I did so I dont think it will take you near as long to heal. Keeping moving forward and pray daily. God will give you Peace!
