Hello geogeo, I was in tears reading your posts! I can relate with you as I am also in a similar situation..I was married for 8 1/2 years and one day he tells me we need to separate, and a few weeks after that I find another person in bed with him...we also have three kids and my whole life is upside down and feeling horrible about this holiday season! It has been 3 months now and i have lost 30 lbs and the only thing I have are my kids and I am living by myself with no job because I was a stay at home mom before this and I started school for medicine and when my kids are not with me i feel lonely and hopeless...If you ever need to vent or just talk feel free to contact me....stay strong and this year will be better for us!
