I am a little younger but I felt that same way since he made significantly more money than I did. Little steps get you to the finish line. Reach out to local non-profits that specialize in housing, etc. Most states have great resources to help get back on your feet. Unfortunately, I made about $20 over the income level for help but it sounds like you would qualify. Then get a lawyer and get help for your divorce. The local resources might even be able to help find lawyers willing to reduce their legal fees. Good Luck and glad you made it!

Sean- thank you for that post. I think those are some of things I needed to hear after all this time.
I have a hard time believing he loved me, the way I loved him. Its a struggle to understand, and he doesn't like to talk about it.

Str8guy,
It does get better as others have stated. Each passing year, day, hours. Sometimes its just about getting through the next hour and celebrating that success. I am three years out from his disclosure and I still have rough days, however they are fewer and farther between. I still have moments of hurt, anger and deceit. I journal a lot when I am feeling the pain, it helps get it out but not taking it out on anybody.
