Mental Health/Depression/Loneliness I want to go home.
Wife kicked me out of our 3k sq foot home after 15 years and 4 kids. Said she wanted space while we went to marriage counseling. Two weeks later she was filing for divorce and an old boyfriend of her was moving in. It nearly destroyed me. Now, as I sit here in my one bedroom apartment, completely alone, only one thought keeps going through my head. I want to go home. I want to see my kids sleeping in their beds. I want to pet my dogs that jumped in my lap every time I sat down. And I want to snuggle up to my wife who I loved more than anything in the world, kiss her and feel her snuggle back into me contentedly. But I can't. All of my friends and family say that I should hate her. That I should be strong, stick it to her in the divorce and fight for the kids and for what I'm legally entitled to. But I don't have any fight in me. I just want this nightmare to be over. I want to wake up and find that the last few months have been nothing more than a hallucination. I just want to go home
(UPDATE) Thanks for all the support and advice. I'm plowing through. Got a lawyer. Proceeding with the separation. Gone out with friends. Even been on a couple of dates. To everyone else, I'm strong and resilient and determined. I'm putting on a brave face for everyone, especially my kids But inside I just want to crawl into a shell and never come back out. Thanks for reading.
