    I usually turn to Tumblr for my deeply personal posts, but a brand new account on MFP would be a fine option as well... good luck with getting the support that you need during this terribly troubling time.

    Lol.. but obviously I'm desperate for help on talking to someone otherwise I would've gone elsewhere

    Are you just looking for divorce help only?

    What kinda support are we talking about here? Because there's plenty on MFP ready to be that virtual rebound so you've actual come to the right place!

    Isn't this a place for dieting and exercising help? I am confused.

    not necessarily.. :#:#

    I read in the rules that nobody is allowed to sell anything here, which is why I thought it was a good site. No pressure for those gidget gadget diet schemes.

    no to selling anything here in MFP...talking all free stuff.. :#

    Get therapy or couseling if you can afford it, because some suggest that emotional impact of divorce could be similar to death of a loved one. Not sure if I agree with the comparison, but it's still a nerve-wrecking experience. If not, try to spend some time outdoors every day, exercise helps to live through situations like that too, read a book, turn on a soothing music. It will get better but it takes time.

    All I can say is to quote and old friend: "Why are divorces are so hard and so expensive? Because they are worth every bit of the effort and money."

    Best support? For me: Church and being around generally happy, positive people. (Philippians 4:4-7) I resolved to not look back as wasted years, but the best years and learn to be content in any circumstance (as seen later in the chapter): I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do* all things through Him who strengthens me

    *I can endure all things

    That you have no support from anyone in your family deserves some reflection, and maybe fence mending.

    An internet forum can give advice to specific or define problems, but relationships are complex and can't be shared in a couple paragraphs, with complete strangers.

    Take it day by day. Spend time doing things you enjoy and couldn't do while marriage. Therapy helped me. Church helped as well. Good luck.

    This is possibly the best place for the kind of affirmation you need , weight loss and divorce are similar , in that both can be a painfull process , but in the end , with love and support , you will be happier , stronger and better for it . forgive , forget and move on .
