You are not alone in this.

Going through a breakup or divorce can feel like your whole world has shifted beneath your feet. You may find yourself questioning everything about yourself and your choices, wondering why your relationships haven’t lasted, or fearing that you will never find a partner who truly fits. It is normal to feel uncertain about who you are without this person, and to worry about whether you are making the same mistakes over and over. 

There is also the heartache that comes from the loss of shared dreams. You may grieve not just the relationship itself, but the life you imagined building together, the routines, the milestones, the shared future you had pictured. Even as the practical realities of a breakup take shape, the emotional reality can hit with surprising force, leaving you feeling raw, lonely, and unsure of what the next chapter of your life will hold. For parents, these feelings are often layered with concern for your children and the worry of how this change will affect them. You may be constantly balancing your own grief while trying to shield them, wondering if you are doing enough or how to maintain stability amid the upheaval.

Even the thought of dating again may feel impossible or even terrifying. The idea of opening your heart to someone new can bring up a storm of doubt and hesitation. You may worry about putting yourself back out there and facing the possibility of rejection, or wonder how to avoid repeating patterns that led to pain in the past. It is normal to feel conflicted. Part of you may crave connection and companionship, while another part is hesitant to risk heartbreak again.
