Your husband leaving is NOT the worst that can happen...
You still have 99% more than most people in this world.
- You have your healthy body
- You have your kids (that should now be the main focus and drive for you)
- You probably have parents that love you and will help you out
- You still have some friends that will stick by you (many will leave, expect that, this is the test of their friendship)
- You have the American government, with all its flaws, will provide some assistance
- You have many local organizations and churches that have support groups just for women that are in similar situations
- You have your soul, nobody can take that away even when everything else is gone
- You have God (or "universal force" for atheist liberals) that still looks over you
- You have your brain, and it looks like you know how to use it when you apply it
- You have past experiences to monetize on
- You have your FUTURE, that's where you should be, the past is no longer here, start dreaming/planning for the future you and your kids will have
- You have the power to cut off all negativity and sources that will suck you dry (your husband, other negative people)
- You have your kids looking up to you now, they don't know better, so be like the strong women that have come before you, stand up, be proud and take control
The one thing that will help you is focusing away from negativity and fear and everything else that is wrong (including your husband) and constantly forcing yourself into a daily habit of looking forward and making it through the day.
Cheers!!
