Hi Teejay
well - reading some of your problems I could have been reading about myself - even down to the steroid nose spray! My divorce and subsequent separation from 2
of my children (their choice) 10 years ago was the most terrible time and it still comes back and haunts me when I least expect it. However, bridges were built
and the two that chose their Dad are now the parents of my grandchildren, and things are good, but that isn't to say that I don't remember and still
hurt inside. I was determined not to let the ex see how terrible I felt at the time, but that all came out in a breakdown 2 years ago. I had dismissed therapy
as just a lot of chat, but in fact it was most helpful and so I wished I had tried this sooner. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that if you need a
sympathetic ear, please email. I also got a book - think it's called 'stop thinking and start living' (something like that) which is I found
helpful.
Best wishes
