Hugs to you, lovinggirl. I understand the pain of loss and the fear of the unknown. You are a strong, independent woman and you can handle this! What would going back to him give you, more of the same? You deserve more and you know it. Like Mark said, we don’t have a crystal ball and can’t tell you without a doubt you will “find someone else”, but I’d encourage you to wrap loving arms around yourself and find YOU again. There is no loneliness worse than being lonely within a relationship, if you ask me. Each day is a new beginning for you and your son to embrace. Spoil yourself with a hot bath, a massage, a good run, a movie or book, whatever it is that makes you happy. It will get easier, that I can confidently promise.
Mark, I love that quote and had it as my Facebook profile photo for awhile without knowing where it was from. I added the movie to my Netflix queue now 🙂
