The holidays are extremely rough. My STBX has been gone almost 15 months now, and I still cried on Thanksgiving & this weekend.

Thankfully I had someone who really wants to be with me to spend some time with; otherwise it would have been even more difficult.

When I get really down, I try to think of the last year of our marriage & how we were worlds apart. The mind always seems to go back to the sweetest moments though, which still hurts.

She emailed me that she would 'settle' for $60k; sad that in the end it just comes down to $$$.

Hang in there; you are not alone.
