Sorry we're so late in getting back to you. Evidently no one was around at the time who was able to respond. We hope things turned out okay, and certainly understand your "flipping out" mode.

I personally have not been divorced, but my best friend is in her third (and she says final) marriage. I suggest you look for folks who are single because of divorce (women, I mean, right now) who can share their feelings with you and you with them. You are not alone. Divorce has been found to be a big source of stress for folks, but, yes, as your friends say, it is something that can be dealt with. I assume you and your ex agreed it was for the best, regardless of the reasons.

Check around, too, to see if there might be any organized support groups in your area. If you find yourself at your wit's end, you can always see a counselor for support. Please don't let this situation get you down too far. There's nothing wrong with getting this type of support.
