Marriage break down…

Hello everyone, this years been tough… my marriage of 10 years has broken down. I’m pretty heartbroken as we’d been together for 15 years and I didn’t see this coming at all. We have 2 young children. At the moment I trying to push through Christmas as well as preparing to sell our home and tell the children too. I need some words of wisdom/advice from people who’ve been through similar situations/someone to tell me I’ll survive all of this! It’s a lot and I’m emotionally exhausted. Thank you for reading xx

Hi RachG,

 

You will get through this. You'll discover things about yourself that you never knew. Like how strong you are and how strong you can be when you need to be. At some point in the future (longer for some than others), you will look back and think 'I don't know how I did it, but I did'. You keep it together for your children and one foot in front of the other gets you to a place where it starts being okay, then it starts being good. It's tough but you've got this.
