The death of a relationship, is often for the best. It doesn't feel like that -at first. First comes - fear confusion anger hurt. If there are children protecting them from the inevitable fallout... Rebuilding your life. Learning to trust. Avoiding the trap of stereotyping all with the characteristics of one. Not allowing anger to grow into bitterness. Yes - the path is new unknown but It does get better The pain isn't in the future- you are leaving it in the past. Celebrate! And know this if you don't know anything else- I am ****** glad you are gone!
