I'm sorry about your injury. I know that $&@?! so be kind to yourself.
You remind me so much of a good friend of mine. It's eerie with what you say. In regards to FF, I'm going to sound unromantic and logical do take this for what it's worth. You know what? You got a taste of a relationship. You have been lonely over the years. That isn't bad or abnormal-quite the contrary. Your time with him Showed you that you could have a nice R and connect with someone. I realize it hurts however, maybe the universe was reminding you that you can "love" or feel deeply for someone again.
I'll probably get lambasted for this but I'll take my punches :-) I'm not surprised in the least that FF is dating someone or that she's 23. Quite frankly, that may be what is a best fit for him. This is exactly zero reflection of you. However, I doubt seriously girl is perfect. No one is. That's your fragile ego speaking. You are fantastic and awesome. I guess what im trying to say is that it can't work with someone who is looking for something else. And this is the most important part...it does not mean that you aren't beautiful, funny, smart and a wonderful mother. It just means he wanted something different. Not better. Just different. And no one wants to truly be with someone who doesn't want us.
Hang in there and take care of yourself.
