Hi Ghost, I've just spent the day with a couple of others, helping a DRW (Divorce Recovery Workshop) friend settle into his new place.
He tried to rent somewhere last year, but found he couldn't handle that. So he has been staying with his parents for a good while. His BD is similar to mine & he found it hard to believe the M was over. He kept going back to mow the lawn, do jobs etc.
However, he has worked through things in his mind. He's rented a lovely 2 bed house and we've helped him choose some new stuff to get it nice and cosy. His S came to stay over the weekend & he hopes to do some cooking with his son.
Who knows what may happen in his M going forward? Like me, he is close to finalising D, has accepted this and sees a life for himself beyond that. Like you, he was not somewhere he wanted to be and struggled significantly for a while. But it is nice to see him laughing and joking again - enjoying new friends, and with a good support network.
Life can unfold in happy ways when we least expect it. Happiness will be around the corner for you too I think.
Do take care, keep posting and let us know how you are doing xx
