You find the strength from within yourself. You get support from friends (you will make new friends here. You find out how divorce works, and you pull yourself out of the trough that you have fallen into!

Use the site as much as you need for support, to find information, chatting or whatever.

Take care

Hi Tango,

The 'I told you so brigade' they are always there,

It is very easy for others to see things that we do not, easy for them to make assumptions and try and steer us in the right direction. You could say it is because they love you and care about what you do. Others ability to see 'what might go wrong' is made so much easier by not being the one to fall in love and place yourself right in the middle of it.

I told you so's, will eventually stop their triumphant chant, they will eventually to their best to help you. I suppose it is their form of punishment for you not listening to them.

That having been said, you really do not need retrospective words of 'wisdom' you need your family to support you and show that they really do care. We all do things in life that others might consider a bit risky, but hey, that is life, that is the way we all develop into wiser people ourselves.

It is easy to say, I told you so, but not so easy to hold out the hand of support. You will get lots of support here on wiki, I would think that all on here have been told, or someone would have loved to have told them, I TOLD YOU SO. So join the 'I told you so club'.

There are many wise, caring and understanding people on here, and you will never here that horrible phrase, I told you so.

They will come around eventually.

So welcome to wiki where hopefully you will find some supportive friends.

take care

Hi Tango

Welcome to Wiki.
This is a safe place where you can share anything you want regarding what you are gonig through. Everyone here know all too well about the hurt of it all.

It is ok not to feel strong right now...right now u just need to survive from one day to the next. In time the strength will come - and u wont even realise it. its when u look back after a few months and see that you have made it so far - even if just broken and bruised. It will get better - i promise you.

take care
