Dear CB:

Emotional pain is physical pain, there really is nothing that we experience in life that is not physical.

“I just like to be comfortable with my own company and to find my own self worth”- because we are social animals, born social, we can’t really find our worth if we don’t have interactions with other people where we feel that we make a positive difference.

I suppose you used to try to make a positive difference in your ex’s mother’s life, and now you don’t have that opportunity. You tried to make a positive difference in your ex’s life, and you don’t have that opportunity anymore. Then there is your son: are you making a positive difference in his life?
