I am so sorry to hear that you are going through a tough time right now, Apryll.
I sympathize, as I was in the same predicament about 5 years ago, with a newborn baby. I have to tell you that it will get better. You need to surround yourself with people that are only going to bring you up. Make sure to eliminate all "toxic" people in your life, too. You can only go one way and that is forward. It may feel like you are at a snails pace right now, but you know in your mind that this is best and your heart will soon follow. I spent 3 years being single, focusing on my boys and myself. It was the best decision I could have ever made and I met an amazing man out of the deal. Not only that, but I realized who I actually was and what I wanted out of life.
Try to stay positive. Surround yourself with positive, supporting people and I agree with what all the other ladies say, too.

So sorry to hear about this but your right if you feel things haven't been working for a long time your better off. It hurts so much because you spent many years together and he was a huge part of your life not to mention the father of your child. You are losing a person that has been such a huge part of your life that that will hurt for awhile but eventually the pain will lessen and you will be happy. (((HUGZ)))

First off, lots of (((hugs))). I couldn't even imagine what you are going through, and how difficult it must be. I think you are doing the right thing, and as time goes by you will begin to feel much better. I don't have any words of wisdom, but just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you and sending heart healing vibes your way

Thank you all for the kind words. I really appreciate you ladies more than you could know!
We have been getting along really well, actually better than we ever did when we were together. We are in agreement of basically everything so far regarding what days he will take DS and what days he will stay with me. He's also being very fair about finances.
I'm glad we're getting along.. but I also think it makes me miss him more. Why couldn't we get along like this when we were together? I know this is for the best but I wish it didn't hurt everyone so much. DS is taking it a lot harder than I thought he would and he was sobbing last night after his dad dropped him off and kept asking him why he couldn't just stay. He called him on the phone and I could hear Mike starting to cry.
We talked last night and both agreed that this is a huge change and will take some time to get used to but as long as Aiden knows we both still love him and we are on the same page regarding what is best for him we will be fine.
I'm sure it's probably unrealistic but I hope that someday we can be friends.

Thank you, Sharon! You are so sweet. I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would be at this point. It's been just a little over 2 weeks but I think the first 3 days were the hardest.. I couldn't go more than an hour without crying. Now that everything has sunk in I feel at peace.
When I come home from work the house is just so much more calm, no fighting or arguing. No nagging him to get things done or turn off the TV. I just feel happy. I still have moments where I'll remember something that we did together & I'll get sad. But for the most part I think my heart was just ready to let go.
I know it's still going to be a long road but I know eventually I will be very happy that this happened. All I can do right now is focus on DS and myself and making sure that we are happy.
