hey Emily

how are you feeling?
what are you doing?

I think that you need to find someone (professional) to talk to - people on here can't help you at the moment

what's happened is everyone gets wrapped up in your problems and trying to help you out
they identify with you and how you feel and become attached to Emily - right now you are not handling things too well
and that is where everyone is getting emotional
its not because they don't care its because they care too much
they can't do much for you except post replies but the more out of control your emotions become the more helpless everyone is
hence trying anything at all to drag you out of this total funk you are in

no one is giving up on you Emily
so don't give up on yourself

when you read this post
please get out the phone book and call someone for help
do you have phone counselling in the states?
in Australia we have lifeline -
you need someone who is emotionally unattached from you and your situation
who can listen but be more objective

please promise you will find someone you can go and talk to

as I said before only Emily can help Emily
only you get to make the choices you need to
only you get to live with those choices

at the moment you are so focused on Kevin that you have remarrying and having a family - that may be or it may not

you have forgotten all the principles of DBing
looking for proof of what you are thinking
working on getting a life for yourself

by setting goals such as I will not call him
you set yourself up for failure Emily
a better goal is to not call for two hours and then half a day
but you cannot do this alone Emily

the reality is you recently had a baby and that alone can tip your world on its axis

please find someone with expertise in these matters to help
this is much more than just your marriage breaking up
you cannot do this alone
