I’m finding the emotional side of this divorce harder than I expected. I don’t have much family around and most of the friends we had were originally his. They’ve been polite, but it’s clear their loyalty sits with him, so I don’t feel able to talk to them about anything real.
I’ve tried reaching out to a couple of acquaintances but it feels awkward, like I’m suddenly asking too much. I hate feeling like a burden. The days just feel long and heavy, and I worry that I’m going to get swallowed up by the loneliness of it all.
I know people say to build a support system, but I honestly don’t know where to start. When everything feels raw and messy, how do you make new connections or find emotional support?
If anyone’s been through this kind of isolation during divorce, I’d really appreciate hearing how you found people to talk to, or what helped you feel less alone.
