Today not as great as I wanted it to be.

Today not as great as I wanted it to be.

So yesterday was a rubbish 'I miss him but also hate all men' kind of day. Today was supposed to be better - thats the way it usually works.
Got up, saw to the kids, went to work, came home and my mum was here. Told her how I was feeling, I mean really told her what was going on in my head and she just said ' Well, he's gone now and that's better isn't it? I know you are lonely but this is much better than when he was here' and then she went home.

Aaaarggghh, I just nodded at her and stopped talking. It seems like everyone, even my mum who saw me in pieces over the past few months, thinks that I should just pick myself up, dust myself off and carry on as if nothing has happened. Don't get me wrong, I have some great days and I can see the old me coming back but when I have down days , I just want to know that people understand. Can anyone really really understand all this until they have been through it? I feel like screaming 'THIS IS NOT A NORMAL BREAKUP' but I don't , I just tell everyone that I am fine and put my usual fake smile on. It's only on here that I can really be myself at the moment.

Oh I don't know what's going on in my head today. I'm sat in the kitchen listening to bloody 'Separate Lives ' by Phil Collins and that's never good - even when this hasn't happened!!! Time to change the Ipod to 'Firework' by Katy Perry!

Sorry for moaning - just feel a bit rubbish.

Hugs to all xx

big hugs

my experience is most (even well-meaning) people don't get it and the ones who do some days, don't every day, especially those who have not been through it.

my rule for myself is not to talk about it with anyone who doesn't. sometimes my mom is compassionate and she knows my N very, very well, but there have been days when I have cried to her on the phone and i feel the blank stare over the phone.

so just come here, cry, yell, laugh, talk, whatever it takes. because my experience is also that most people on this board do get it.

xoxoxo.
