I just ended a 10 year marriage after years of emotional and physical neglect. Before that my dad broke my heart in ways I’m still trying to understand. Then came boyfriends who lied played games became abusive or chose someone else over me.
Last week I met someone online who seemed different he said all the right things made me feel seen. He complimented me texted me constantly and I started catching real feelings. But this week? Silence. Barely a message.
And on top of it all my teenage son has been distant for what feels like forever. I’m exhausted. I keep asking when does it get better? How many times can one heart break before it stops trying? I’m starting to lose faith in love.

i won’t lie, it does get better but not all at once. focus on tiny things that make you feel human again, say no to people who don’t match your energy, and let yourself grieve that hope. find one steady person or group to lean on, even if it’s just one friend or a local support group. small routines help rebuild trust in yourself. you don’t have to rush love back into your life.
sending a big hug 🤗 to you. I know how this feels but work on loving yourself its not selfish and you need to give yourself all the love it needs. xxx
Time for some self loving and therapy. No men. Validate yourself first.
learn to love yourself and be content with loving yourself. loving is the most destructive thing I have ever experienced. I would do anything to rewind time. if you want peace of mind, love yourself only
sending lots of love 🙏
