Many of us have been attending University graduation ceremonies this Summer. We might have met, as I did, our ex partners for the first time in many years as a result. This can be a challenging at worst or at best just makes us slightly nervous. In my own case I knew I was up to the task as of course my number one priority was and is to support my Daughter. Apart from being overjoyed for her I tried to imagine though how I might feel ho before we met and to my surprise I didn’t know. Would I feel reflective, more happy or sad than normal, would I be anxious?

Might some “feeling” return? By

I find myself at my 2 year anniversary (almost to the day) of when my Wife moved out after announcing to me that she: “didn’t love me anymore”; “his car is far better than yours”; “we have 4 hour sex sessions in the hotel” amongst other things... I recall fondly the support this website gave me in understanding my new found situation, in preparing me for what was about to come and in giving guidance of how to carry on in the present. It was a real help.

The subsequent 2 years after her brutal and totally unexpected announcements has seen me behave in a fairly typical (I presume) way.

So now it feels like dark clouds are gathering.  The only thing that seems to help me are the happy pills and the support from a couple of close friends.  My parents and siblings just want to see a big fight as they hate what my ex has done and want her destroyed so getting support from them isn't any good.
