I am only a little bit aware of your situation. Was your ex an alcoholic?
I struggle with accepting that things are not fair in life. Watchimg the news, reading about historical events always leaves me teary eyed or angry. Having to discuss the unfair and cruel way people treat each other to my son is especially challenging (he was recently asking me about world war II. )
Betrayal from a loved one is different but also hard to deal with. We know that the world is cruel and unfair but expect differently from the people we grew up with, committed to, and in some cases had children with. Our guards were let down so it hurts even more.
I know there is the belief that to be happy you have to detach from everything and live in the present. Kids and anaimals seem to have that gift. I certainly do not. But for those that do, it seems to relieve them of suffering.
