Damaged...
Hello from Montana!
I just joined this week too actually. Been married for 25 years and was completely blindsided a few years ago as well. Even then I never knew how bad it was until he decided to retire this last year.
It has been a roller coaster of highs, lows, sadness, frustration, anger, grief....I think I have felt nearly every emotion available.
The only thing I can say at this point is to make sure you understand that you are not to blame for anything. And through all of this you need to be honest and sincere to him but mostly to yourself.....easier said than done, I know, because I am still struggling with it myself.
But encouragement, concern, heartfelt advice and much wisdom is found on this sight. I have never felt as good as I have this week in just talking to all these wonderful people on this here at SR. You keep the faith!!!
