    Many of us have been there, and somehow got through it.

    You come and yell at us, and tell us of any problems and we will try to find a solution.

    Hi Doodledo

    Big hugs to you :grouphug:

    My marriage broke up nearly 7 years ago now (still not divorced but that's another story!). Hell on earth at the time but life is soooo much better now - even with the humungous (sp?) amount of debt!

    I know there is life beyond this and I know we will be happy just its all very raw at the moment and hard to see beyond these current feelings.

    I can't eat or sleep and just sit here crying. Feel like such a failure.

    Just sending sympathetic thoughts your way. Not been in your position but strongest advice is ask for help sooner rather than later and don't try to cope all on your own. Make sure that you keep talking to your friends...
