A new thread for the new year

[Arty]

Hi friends,
So..I have recently found out that my ex husband has become engaged and they have set a date for March next year.
Of course, my girls will be attending the wedding. As you can imagine, it feels like the wounds that had started to heal have been opened up again. I feel very emotional, I know that we will never be together again, and to be honest I do realise now that he is definitely NOT the kind of person I want to be with. However, I am finding it exhausting dealing with thoughts about the past etc. Once again, I am saying to myself ‘you should be reducing your meds by now’ when my rational mind knows that they are keeping me well. On a positive note, my jobs are going well & I am feeling really creative at the moment. My friends and family are really supportive too. Thank you for listening and being there.

Hunni, I’m so sorry. If it helps, I was married and had a new baby when my ex husband remarried. And I was still (secretly) distraught. It brought back all my memories of our relationship and our painful break up and that small part of me that still loved him grieved. Anyone could understand why this hurts
