Shotclock Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 So I am getting a divorce and within 2 months of moving out my soon to be ex-wife has a new boyfriend. That is ok, I don't miss her as we just had too much drama together. But I do miss the family unit immensely. I have a daughter that is 8 and all I ever wanted was a family and the fact that I don't have one any more is very hard to deal with. What's more is the thought of the new guy taking my place, not as a dad but at some point they will be going places together and as a "family". That part is virtually impossible to get over. Anyone else delt with that? Link to post Share on other sites
GoBlue Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yes - every single day of my life. It's very hard at the beginning - the kind of hard that means it's all you think about. Over time, however, you begin to understand that there are things you can control and there are things you cannot. You still have a family - you and your 8 year old daughter. Nobody can take the place of her daddy so make sure no one does. She will need your time, your purposeful attention, and your unconditional love. I am sorry for this breakdown, but understand one thing, it's probably harder on your daughter than it is one you and your ex. She is the only one who had no choice in this. Be sensitive to her and provide help if she needs it. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Link to post Share on other sites
