Hi, I am trying to get over a 14 1/2 year relationship. I am devastated. My boyfriend and I broke up, and he immediately began dating, and the girl became pregnant. How does one get over this quickly, and move to a new relationship. I am 47 years old, and want to get married and hopefully have a family, maybe adopt!

Wow, what a change.

You need to take one day at a time.

If you want a family, why not try going through the adoption agency yourself? Find out what you need to *qualify* as an adoptive parent. Also you could look into opening your heart to foster children. Or volunteer your time at a group home.

The biggest thing you need to work on is being happy on your own without needing to rely on someone/ something else to be happy.
