Hi Kathy, I am at the ten week stage. I still feel sad over the old person I knew, but the person he is now is not a person I would fall in love with. I try to keep very busy, write a list of things I want to accomplish that week. It really helps to see what I can do on my own. I planted some grass seed a little while ago, and to see it growing somehow gives me pleasure. I am having a birthday in a couple weeks and am planning a girls party, something to look forward to. Little things, daily projects, a call with a friend, this site, it all helps make one day pass, then another, then another. I am starting to feel human again, starting to breath. Counselling has helped me and my children with our feelings as well. I am so proud of my 11 year old. He told his father that he wanted to spend time with him, not with him and his girlfriend. He stood up for his needs and expressed his boundaries. It was very difficult for him, it hurt him, but he said what he needed/wanted. I admire that in someone so young, the guts to stand up to someone he loves. We will survive, we will be healthier stronger people at the end of the day. Our lives will be different, but it doesn't mean they will be unhappy. I wish you well, believe in yourself. Lorrie
