Ok, let me try this again. I came across this instagram page and have found some helpful advice. She is a counsellor for straight spouses in Australia.
The quote I attempted to post was "Straight spouses have been decieved, rejected, emotionally abused, and abandoned. All all the while the closeted spouse walks away like he is owed something..."
I am currently feeling this as I approach mediation day. Like others, at the very beginning he made a lot of promises about how he cared, and would make sure I was taken care of, and how I didn't deserve this. Of course I found out they were all lies and empty promises pretty quickly.
This was one of the hardest parts for me. The hatred. The vile things he spewed at me. And the fact that he now blames me for everything. Somehow I am having to "pay" for something I didn't even know about.

It worked the second time!
For me personally....I didn't need a life coach to get me through this but I suppose there are many people able to afford it. The thought of somebody profiting from my pain, and telling me what I need to get through it, thinking they have the answer.....my answer to my journey....just seems wrong.

Anon, I’m sorry he’s being such an a**hole to you. You know he’s just blame shifting to you so he can sleep better and of course you are left fending off his attacks, & maybe struggling to sleep. Sad what he’s capable of, hope you can stand proud knowing this is on him, and he’s showing his weakness through his personal attacks. Hoping the mediation goes well for you and you get what is fairly yours, all of it.
