Felix,

I have an amazing job right now, I love my dog to pieces, my family and my soon to be ex are all being somewhat supportive.
That is a good place to start. I recommend a gratitude journal. This is a good way to be focused on what is good going on in your life. Plus having a regular journal is good for being able to process stuff without having it go around and around in your head making you crazy.
You crave emotional support especially from your family? That is tough. I do know that I need to love myself in order to attract the love (and support) from others. In the meantime, you might want to find an outside support group such as a Men’s Support group or even a 12 Step group. Having a meditation practice helps being OK with yourself. I went on a meditation retreat and it was powerful. I got to sit with myself in silence with others for stretches at a time. I was with myself AND I was with others in support.
