Left my husband

1.2K Posts
Last Saturday I'd just had enough so I went to sat at my parents.
I'm 50. We've been together 23 years. Five children. Youngest 18 next week.
First few days I was all strong and happy. Last few days can't stop crying. I'm a mess.
What to do???
No idea x

Lots of ideas on this thread.
So, cry, think, wish and hope some more. Talk to your children; and explain that you're confused and unsure and worried; and that you need their love and time to think, and reassure them that you love them and will be there for them - even if this might not be how you feel right at the time you are talking to them - you will find a way to grieve for yourself and to support them.
Talk to your friends about what has happened; but don't rush to conclusions. Take time to think about what you want, and what can be done.
I hope you move through this period of intense pain quickly, but know you may not because of how important your marriage is to you. It hurts because it was real, and hard and produced the children you love.
Best wishes for the future

A thread where lots of people gave you ideas on keeping yourself busy, tailored to you, because its your thread...
Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
Time is the greatest healer.
Do the things you enjoy doing and keep yourself busy. Change is hard but sometimes it needs to be done.
