    Elle - just to second you on the therapy thing.

    I do think it would be helpful to speak with a trained professional more often and work through some of the trauma and struggles I've had....but it's $200/50 min session. My ex has amazing benefits coverage, and with the dual income, I could go more regularly (for other things). But now....who can afford it?

    It doesn't help that I can't even get any support/coverage for the mental health things I have been diagnosed with.....let alone support for whatever the last year was....

    Elle,
    I am so sorry to hear about your story. I know It must be very hard. I am also new on this platform and seven month since I found out that my husband is gay. I know it is very uncomfortable topic to talk about. I talk to anyone who wants to listen. But will love to meet someone who went through it as well. Maybe, I need to start a group myself. I am going to figure it out to, thou. I hope you are around here so I can hug you and seat down with you over coffee/tea to chat. The pain is unbearable. No sorry in the part of my husband. He is always gaslighting me to the point I almost believed that I am crazy. Very sad. It is an emotional abuse. But I know I will be OK. And you will be, too.
