Just new to this

Hi I am 7 months down the road to recovery from my husband leaving myself and my 3 sons. We were married for 28 years. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. He thought he might come back but he has not told the truth all along and I decided that I would try to get a financial agreement as soon as possible. I don't know what has been more difficult - the financial part or the emotional. My sons are all at university and this makes it very hard in that they have all left home at once. Not sure how I will face the winter?

A day at a time Kate. Thats all you can do. You have lived through some of the hardest days already and from that you will gain the strength to keep going and recover. Just keep sharing your feelings and get the support you need. Everyone here is going through or has been in the place you are now. Welcome and keep posting. xxxx

Hi Kate,

Welcome to wiki, I too was married for 28 years, I have 4 children only two at home now, we have been separated for 7 months also. It's the pits isn't it, but you will get through it now you have joined here and get all the support from the wonderful people on this site.

Take care xx and keep posting & reading it does help .

Hi Kate

Me too. I have been married 32 years and with him 34. Both my girls are grown and have their own lives. I have been on my own for 5 months now. I am dreading Winter. Hate those dark nights. I decided I would try and get some hobbies so i get out on an evening and meet people. I know where you are coming from and there are a lot like us on this site. As everyone will tell you, keep posting it really does help especially at the really lonely times. It is comforting to know you are n ot on your own.
Take care x

Hi

Thanks for this. It is good to know I am not on my own and I am thinking about doing some new things. Friends have been great and work is OK but it is just the bit about being in the house on my own and the lack of being a couple feeling.

Kate

Hi

Thanks. It does make me feel a bit better to know I am not on my own and I can speak to someone at any time. I feel as if I want to move on but don't really know what that means and am always having to deal with major issues to do with money and work etc.
How are you coping?

Kate
