The first few months were awful. We have 4 kids and so we are still in touch. I'm looking forward to not talking/seeing him all the time once the kids are grown.

To fizzgig: Huge hugs for you. If you can, and want to, see if you can find a support group. Not one of those 'bashing the ex' type of support groups, but the type where you can discuss with others the stages that you go through. Just having someone to talk to that 'gets it' helps because when you are going through it, it seems that people who aren't going through it, or haven't, really don't get it at all. I was part of a really good one for a couple of years and it helped tons.

Sending some positive thoughts your way.
