Hi I'm new here and am so sad and lonely.
I am struggling with jealousy over my ex-husband's happiness too.
I was married for 20 years, he left me for a rich, beautiful younger woman, and now lives a luxurious happy life while I am alone and financially struggling.
I pray not to be bitter! I don't want to be jealous! It hurts, feels so unfair, I have been a good mother, my children love me, but I am alone and don't have money... I tried dating, but have been let down by men so much I find it hard to trust, haven't found anyone and am tired of looking.
I work hard, I just get by, my ex has bought his fifth house, has a happy life with a young beautiful woman, it is SO SAD from my point of view, I never wanted him to leave me.
Sometimes I wish I were dead. Life is just going on without me anyway... I wonder why this happened to my life, why?
My children have forgiven him somewhat as it has been almost ten years, and that's okay. I can't forgive him, he abandoned us, and I struggled, while he lived a life most people dream of...now he has the kids' love back, and everything else... I have more of their respect, and a deeper bond, but will never have my own home, I just can't afford it.
Please help me not to be jealous and sad.

Hi Mary, I am sorry for all that you shared.
Hi Mary,
I'm really sorry you're struggling like this. Bitterness is such an awful poison, isn't it?
You said in your post title that your life is sad but it sounds more like you're the one who's sad and life is just being life. I actually
