Support Needed

[Middlespace Brat]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some advice and support. My Daddy, who I have been with for four years and was married to, decided it would be best for us to separate. He is being very kind and patient and generous with helping both of us get back on our feet. 
I will keep this brief as I don’t want to share any dirty laundry, but I am both extremely stressed, overwhelmed, and a tiny bit relieved all at once. I feel like this is a shot at starting over which sounds wonderful, but also a very scary time as I feel all alone. 
Thus, here I am. This forum and the wonderful friends I have made on it feel like home. So please if it’s not too much trouble, leave some kind words of encouragement. Have you been through this? Do you have any wisdom to impart? I would appreciate it. 
Note: please don’t ask if we want to work it out. We do not and I think it’s probably for the best. 
Thank you for reading and please leave something nice.

 I'm sorry you are having to go through this. Loss of any kind is not easy, but you will get through it. Try and keep yourself busy with things you like to do that occupy your mind. Being idle lets your mind dwell on the negative and not seek the positive. It sounds easier than it is but you can do this.

For something nice I'll quote Sonny from "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"

"Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end."

It’s going to be a bit scary. Life will be weird getting used to not having that person in every day things. I understand, as I got divorce in my marriage. It was amicable, yet still it hurt, even if I knew it was the right thing. This doesn’t take away from the amazing and wonderful and precious person you are. People sometimes drift apart. 
It will take some time to heal. This is a new chapter filled with many new opportunities and experiences. You are not alone. The forum is here and so is everyone. Focus on the positive and keep moving forward. Remember to take things as you can. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed and scared and alone. Do your best to break things into smaller manageable pieces if you can. You’ve got this. We believe in you. Continue being the amazing little you are.

To start off with, big hugs to you! I know this is such a scary time, even if it's for the best. I'm going through a similar situation, sort of, and I'm happy to talk any time you want, even if you just need to vent.
