Husband has left me for a younger woman

Bex - You have to take your focus off OW and H and put it on yourself.

Dont look at her photos again, dont think about her, if it wasnt her it would probably be another woman.

Whenever a wave of emotion comes crashing over you, think exactly that, its a wave, your in the ocean, the wave crashes, it goes past, and your still ok, your feet are grounded and you can breathe.

It sounds naff but it works. My WAW sent a solicitors letter to me last week, giving her intention to seek D - but im lucky I don't have OM in the picture. For 3 months I suspected an EA and was paranoid about her whereabouts, whenever she was late home, whenever she went out with the girls and didnt put FB selfies up - my mind went into overdrive.

Now I just shut it out and turn the focus on me - what will I do in the next 3 hours, the next day, the next week - I make lists, lots of them and tick off the jobs I am doing or have done.

Lists about work, lists about stuff to do at home, plans for holidays with the kids without W.

You are a single parent now - hard to swallow but true - for now.

Tell me what you are doing for you? Half Term?, Easter? - make plans for you and the kids.Visiting family, playing with the kids, rekindling old friendships? You can drive? Yes
