Welcome! So Sorry for what you're going through! Thank you for sharing your story. i think divorce can be hard, perhaps especially when it's still fresh in your mind, but i do think that you can get over it. i think focusing on yourself may be a good idea but feel free to do what you see most fit. You can start dating again when you feel comfortable to, i think. No need to rush, take some small steps. Perhaps it may be a good idea to talk to a therapist as well if you can afford it. Of course there's this forum as well if you need support. Feel free to contact the admins and moderators in case you need assistance. i am also available for assistance and/or support and Hopefully others as well. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Technically Techne, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
