What to do?

I'm wondering if there is anyone else on the board who has either gone through a divorce or is going through it, that doesn't have children? After 10 years of marriage, with no kids, I honestly do not even know what to do with myself. The whole situation was completely out of nowhere. I know there are perfectly normal stages that I will be going through. Currently, the divorce is in process. Emotionally, I am a wreck. I have never been one to lean on friends and family. Even through all this, I've been told how strong I am. I certainly don't feel that way.

Any advise?

All I can say is that I am in the same situation as far as you - having no children. I thank God for that as it would only be 110,000 times more difficult.
It's already so difficult.
I wish I had some words of wisdom to help you out, but all I can do is agree and relate.
You're not alone, I have never been one to lean on friends and family either. I feel liek they don't care or I shouldn't burden them.

I can telly ou that counselling has helped even though my H refused to go. I had to do what would be best for me.

Good lukc to you :)

OK... so I have kids.... but when they're with their dad.... I don't!... and it can get lonely.
