oh dear , I can completely relate to this. 3 years ago when our kids were 2 and 3, my husband told me he didn't want to be with me anymore (he is now my ex). The pain of facing separation from my kids was immense and my thinking wasn't rational (he said he wanted them half the week) - this is what started me seeing my T. I still feel pain from this awful situation, but all I try to do is take one day at a time and wait until my next appointment with T. And he is yet to move out - has said it will be within the next couple of weeks - that is a little scarey, but I know I need to try and move on and start my life again.

This place has also been a lifeline for me - I have no quick fix advice, other than to seek lots of support, be kind to yourself and have faith that times will become less painful in the future. Thinking of you SD.
