WAW_SC My W walked out on me at the end of December 2012. We’ve a 15mo D who was 9 mo at the time. I’ve followed your postings and it does help me to know others are trying too. Thank you.
This is an extremely challenging situation for the LBS and for the WAW. It is so hard. No question. I have many regrets and still find myself crying when I’m alone & my mind wanders to dark places.
In response to your last post, I wanted to say to you that I (try to) believe that the situation/time can be a critical turning point too: towards redemption and contentment. In my last year of school, a few years ago now, we studied King Lear. I’ve been re-reading it recently. I am moved and inspired by the way Lear responds effectively to the zenith of his suffering/collapse. It is as if he needed that utter desperation to realise a deeper and better way. That is my ambition (along with/as part of, divorce busting :-))
I can't really think of any situation where there is no hope. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. Be strong. Exercise. Stay focussed on your quest for contentment.
