I'm starting this thread for a friend who has just had the "bombshell" dropped on her. She's not sure if she's ready to talk just yet but she is desparate to talk to someone. I've let her know about you all and pointed her to MB.
I'd love you all to help her.

It's hard to talk about it at first. It's hard to *breathe* at first. Those are such very, very dark days. I hope your friend comes here. I'm glad she confided in you - you are a spectacular resource.

Thank you all. I knew I could count on you. I really hope she comes here - she feels so alone and he's spouting all the "fogbabble" from the wayward handbook. I really want her to know that he's typical of all WS's and that the situation is not unique. She feels that because he's saying he and the OW are "soulmates" blah blah blah that she has no hope.

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.
