Dear Friend,
My husband of 15 yrs has left me. I have 4 children. Each child is traumatized. I don't know what to do because I am in the same shoes. My life feels like it's at an end. Please send advice.. I am desperate for anything and anyone right now. Lost & Alone in Cincinnati!
Dear Lost & Alone,
There are so many women out there that feel your pain. Always remember you are not alone. My advice to you is to turn to friends and family for support. And make sure these friends and family are positive about your future and not about attacking the past. If we look at the rear view mirror the entire time we are driving, where would we be? We have to look ahead...and sometimes it takes great concentration. You are hurt, betrayed and afraid. Three very highly and volatile emotions... and when combined, they can combust if not treated. Please find a recommended counselor or therapist right away. Please take your children in also. Not knowing your entire situation, such as if there is a woman involved, drugs, prison, etc... it's hard to know more of how to help you, but finding a therapist and collecting a support group is always a good start.
One more thing, find that girl within you. The one you were before marriage. What was it you loved to do? What brought you joy? Find that and start doing it again. Eventually the smiles and even laughter will come. When our life is so focused on one thing, such as a spouse or children, and one of those is removed from our life, then our foundation crumbles. Focus instead upon a higher being, such as God. Focus on His love for you... He is there with you now. And He will carry you through this if you have the faith that He is there. Turn to Him. You will find your feet and eventually your wings... and then you will fly.
