Very sorry you're having some struggles! I'm not trying to downplay what you're going through, but my S has been having trouble in school this year. He's ADHD and it's always been a struggle getting him to keep up with homework and studying, but now he's in high school and the difficulty really ramped up. One day I was at work mulling over what to do about a class he was having trouble in and generally just having that same "life is a mess" feeling as you, and my coworker hung up the phone and told me a consultant who is a good friend of ours just found out his young son needs to have radical surgery performed. They are going to remove half his brain to try to stop his seizures. This has been going on over a year, he was having 20 plus seizures a day and they removed a tumor from his brain to try and stop them. It helped for a while but then they resumed. And now they are faced with this radical move which they are being told will drastically alter their son's personality and intelligence level. I tell you what, I went home and told my son I know he is struggling but I am proud of him for trying so hard and I gave him a big hug. Sometimes we need a perspective adjustment to realize maybe things aren't so bad after all.

I'm sorry you're going through this East, but I have got to say that that is so completely absurd and off-the-rails that I couldn't help but laugh! Wow your ex is something else!

Nothing else to report. Stress level at an all time high thirteen months after separation and six months since divorce final.
Maybe you just need some more time, it really took me a couple of years to get used to my "new normal". Congrats on keeping the weight off, that's awesome!
