Hi. I've posted a couple of times on 'divorce'. I'm 10 weeks in now.

 

Long story short.....divorce instigated by wife. After initial shock, I realised I'd been very unhappy too. Complications have arisen as I've been pushed out of our business. It's all I've known for 7 years. I'm now faced with joblessness and no money. Like starting again in my 20s when I left Uni.

 

Despite the impending challenges, I can't seem to get into a place where I can face them. It seems like such a massive challenge, I'm scared I'll not be able to find work and what that will mean at my age (38). Homelessness etc etc.

 

I'm trying to do everything people say I should; I'm seeing a counsellor, trying to stay busy, see family. Nothing is working. I'm treading water.

 

Is there anyone out there who had the strength to start again when faced with loosing everything?. I'm out of ideas. I always thought I was a strong person. Before we met, I was motivated, successful in my career. I just don't feel like that person any more. I feel like a flat, failed person with few options.

 

Any insight would be really appreciated.
