Good news, but I'm wiped out. . .

I spent the morning with STBX at appointments for our children. We got great news from DS's doctor and a great report from DD's teacher. The fact that she now has two homes is not at all affecting her ability to shine in the classroom.
I believe it's great for our kids that strangers would probably never guess that STBX and I are going through a divorce and no longer live together, but mornings like this wipe me out. STBX doesn't intentionally do anything to provoke additional anger or hurt. I guess it's just hard for me because it seems so easy for him to do the family thing without thinking about what we have gone though as a couple. I just feel so empty now that I'm at work, need to get busy, but just can't concentrate.
Someone please tell me that this gets easier with time.

Hi mom2maggie,
i've been feeling the same thing lately, exhausted and wornout.
Here's some quotes I found on the topic:
"There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship /only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier."
Quote from Erica Jonq
"Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted."
Albert Pike quote
"An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted"
Arthur Miller Quote
This is an end of an era for you and now its time to move forward. Make sure though you do take care of yourself, and it might not get "easier" but it will become a routine that you can deal with because you know what to expect every time :-)
