I just started shaking and was trying hard not to sob and totally lose it in front of my son. I always feel like I am one step away from losing my composure in the middle of the store, etc.
Stay strong in public and around family. Find someplace where you can let your emotions out. It is healthy and you will feel better afterwards.
One of the current poster has talked about a "rage room". Sounds like a great GAL. Crying in the shower helps, or parked in your car. Screaming along with songs. The sad songs. The angry songs. Find things that work for you. Crying on the beach?

I am just in shock that I have to try to find a lawyer today because I know nothing (and never thought I would need to) about child sharing issues and financial matters. I am frightened of the future and what this process will be like.
Gaining knowledge helps reduce the fear.

I can't imagine telling my kids this. It will break their hearts. The crazy thing is we don't really fight, so I don't know how much they will see this coming.
One of the hardest parts of the process. There was some good discussion on gecco's thread about ways to go about it.
