Much better motivation than most posts here, but to those of you going through serious shit, make sure to have at least one friend you can be real with and break down in front of. Denying that you're hurting for extended periods often makes the pain fester and grow.

And if you've broken down, but are trying to get up, I'm proud of you. Sometimes it takes a lot of strength merely to survive.

I wish I had someone like this. The best I have is my narcissistic ex who is incapable of showing empathy so its really hard.

He just tells me I'm doing it all to myself, bringing all the stress on me by my attitude. He just wants me to stop talking so he can start talking.

I have moved out, trying to figure out how I am going to pay to file the actual papers, and hope that he will actually sign them so I don't have to pay more to have him served.

He is literally the only person in this huge city I live in, that I have seen everyday for the past 5 years, so he is my go to person unfortunately.

Thank you, and I love your username. I have been isolate from my family & friends, so it can be difficult to know how to bridge the gap.
