Hello everyone.
I'm a new member here but I'm a long time single mother.
I have been divorced for four months but separated for three years. I've been through various personal crisis including the divorce this past year.
My child is very young (too young to hopefully not remember anything). My ex has had a woman in his life younger than I by four years (I'm 24). They've been together since the day of the separation and it always killed me. Now they are pregnant and engaged to be married next year. I have made peace with it because I know God would want me to for our child.
This hurts me on so many levels. I'm not romantically interested with my ex by any means. However I feel like I've waited so long to move on. My child is a special care child. By that I mean they are almost normal and your typical toddler. However they have a heart condition a chronic heart condition. I'm currently unemployed to take care of my child until they start school full time or a medical miracle happens with them but they always need some sort of care.
If you're reading this and you never married or you've been divorced. Is there any advice you can give to me. I know this may sound horrible but I know that I will never accomplish great things in life. I will never be president or a movie star or do anything to change the world. I've been trying to find my purpose in life. Maybe it's to take care of my child?
Do you think it's possible that after divorce there is life? You can start over again? Or is it wishful thinking that I will find a man that will accept and understand my circumstances, my child, myself?
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you so much.
