I’m an AA now leaning secure. A big part of my healing journey has been finding ways to ground myself when I’m spiraling. I journal. I meditate. I ALLOW myself to feel my feelings! Give yourself spa…

I wish I would get this text. It would make my world whole again. But it will never happen. Going on is cruel.

I appreciate your comment. I just want to tag onto the idea of “the other side.” I feel like in the last few years I’ve come to realize that outside of acute depressive episodes, there really is no “o…

This! I’ve reposted this link as well. It’s a really good outline and well thought out. The road of reconciliation is paved with pain. If your wife’s perspective is that she can rebuild trust quickly…

I say this calmly and with concern, one widow to another. You need to work on yourself first. You wrote that you have no friends, no hobbies or interests (yes, that is how that reads). I'm terri…

I feel you so much. I had the same happen to me a month ago after a 7 year relationship. Before he broke up with me he was already talking to another girl who is 19 years old, he is 25. I feel so used…

You can thank your lucky stars that you discovered the kind of morally bankrupt person she was before marriage, kids, a mortgage, assets, and more. Now all you suffered was a broken heart and that wil…

Well, having had a difficult childhood growing up, I decided in my late teens and early twenties that I would remain unmarried and would not have kids of my own because I did not want to continue the …

Not sure if this was to me or not, but I was not out to lay blame on anyone, as there's always sides to any story and I'm fully aware that we don't know the most of it. But yes, your course of action …

You as an adult now, need to remind yourself that you are safe, to feel and think. This is how you become whole again. You will need to remove yourself from the family dynamics that make you feel un…

Do what you want. Could be useful to get into your body when it happens to become mindful of why you're actually having anxiety. That way you can heal from your trauma's and become whole again ♥️ (yo…

Stealing from you then repaying it AFTER 7 yrs of struggle is an automatic lifetime distance. Your nervous system would probably be in recovery for a while. I can't imagine the frustration and anger a…
