Yeah...It Has Been A Lot
I have heard that the four most stressful things you can go through in life are: marriage, death of a loved one, moving (especially out of state), and divorce.
I went through all of these within a four month period last year. To kick it up a notch I decided to try to forget the marriage, cross-country move, and divorce and move to a new state again.
I have done all of this with my amazing 16 year old daughter.
It is still hard, the man I married turned out to be what I consider a monster, and he owes me money and refuses to sign any sort of agreement to settle for the money he owes. Control. I married a control nut.
I took my daughter from her school, her life, her family with the promise of something better with the love of my life. He was worth doing this all for...so I thought.
I am still trying to survive. All I know now is that I can get through any thing.
Teresa, you have indeed been through a lot. I too have been through very difficult times, including getting two kinds of cancer and herniated lumbar discs , etc. But what we share is the knowledge that we can get through anything. If one survives these kinds of tests, they grow stronger. I really want to reach out to you.
You do need to allow yourself the time and space to heal.
I don't know what helps you:for me I write in a daily gratitude journal about what I do have each new day. You have your wonderful daughter. And do not be afraid to ask for help. There are all kinds of counseling centers available on a sliding scale. Get the support you need. You are a strong and brave woman. And if you have your health, you have everything.
