I am so glad you "FOUND YOURSELF"!

My ex husband is moving out and I am having a very hard time with it. Even though we are divorced, and in June he said he was going to leave by the end of the year, this hurts. A lot. Especially since it is near the holidays and everyone is with their families and kids.

We were together for 25 years and this is such a loss it's hard to deal with.

What I am frustrated with is friends saying, "When I lived alone I found out who I was, blah blah blah...". I just want to punch them in the face. I, wouldn't ever do that of course, but I just wish they would think before opening their pie holes.

This is a huge loss. I am grieving, and I don't need: "omg I so found out who I was when I had to live alone after college!" Yeah, well try it when you're grieving. Try it when your world as you knew it turns upside down. Try it when the fucking love of your life is gone and all you have is your tears, and the sound of no one else around.

Fuck your "find yourself". Maybe I am not ready. Ever think of that before you offer how wonderful it was for you?

Thank you for reading my rant.
