If I were not in so much pain, I would agree. But being abandoned is painful on a good day

I try not to allow others actions affect me, but it is hard, no doubt.

That’s super helpful thanks. In this situation my husband of 13 years abandoned me 2 weeks before Xmas. I have no Jedi-mind trick to pull myself out of this

The only "trick" I ever had myself was time. I take to to breathe and enjoy what I have.

I know very well this feeling. It's horrible. My partner of almost a decade abandoned me earlier in the year. Too afraid to talk to me, I've only gotten communication through their lawyer. I'm still broken from it, some days are better than others but it's so tough not being able to say goodbye.
