Hi Steve,
Please don’t take this wrong way, but your post made me laugh aloud. I mean honestly, what happened to you during your marriage really sucks. It’s pretty bad. And I always laugh at things that are just really really bad. It really just couldn’t be any worse. That guy ate dinner –In your house– with your kids??? That’s crazy.
The only thing I can say is that the worst is over. Would you really want to go back to your old life? I know you made more money then, and it seemed like you had everything, but that was clearly all an illusion. Starting over is really tough, I’ve done it and I know, but the great thing about it is that your life is an empty canvas. You can do whatever you want. Isn’t there something you’ve never done that you’re just dying to do? And I don’t mean going on some fancy vacation or anything like that. Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn? Go do it. Now is the time.
I get that you’re resentful, it would be weird if you weren’t. But don’t let that resentment take your days from you. Put that energy somewhere else. Find what makes you happy. Not who, but what–you know?
Good luck 🙂
