Hi! Everyone. I finally have a comp. now. I guess I am back.
My divorce has been finalized and I am finding it very difficult to pick up the pieces and move on.
I find it very hard to forgive my X, myself, and all those involved in the destruction of my marriage, although I know my unhealthy addiction and attachment played a major role in the destruction of it.
I desire so much to turn back the clock and have things back the way they were, but I know I can't. I would only have to go through the pain all over again, although it is still there. It feels more than I can bear at times, but I am getting stronger.
I don't, so much, desire to have her back as much as I desire to have the relationship and my family back, so I guess that makes me a relationship addict.
Still I have a torch constantly burning in my heart for her and us as a couple. Our children were so happy, I was so happy, and everyone envied our family and our closeness.
I think I am just so angry at her for ending it and also the fact that she has been with so many men since we split, but I still don't think I will ever lose feelings for her.

no point looking back godsguy...time to look forward, pick up the pieces and rebuild a life for yourself.
you'll need some time to lick your wounds and grieve something you have lost but all our energy here has to be channeled into recovery and strengthening our damaged relationship with our HP.
we are among the lucky ones because we already know our HP and so it is a matter of repair work. I really feel for those who have never had an HP.

Thanks greta, so true! I have thought a lot about this at times. When it all came to an end, God is all I had to turn to, but lately faith is hard to sustain at times.
I know, though, that what he desires most is the same thing we desire the most; TO BE LOVED BACK!!

Yesterday I had a bit of a breakthrough. After weeks of feeling angry and upset towards God, my POA and my parents (for causing the whole sorry mess in the first place). I've done a lot of sitting in the anger and just letting it be there, and expressing it healthily... which helped a bit.. but still wouldn't go away.
Then yesterday I thought, it doesn't matter whether it's fair or whatever. I can just let go of the anger, whatever the rights and wrongs of it and however much my needs aren't being met. I can choose to just let it go. And I've felt a lot better (as well as reading a book about Corrie ten Boom who was a Christian holocaust survivor, that helped too)
Hopefully this feeling will stay! Hope I remind myself of this if I start getting angry again.
