Dear Dr Heartache,
I'm writing because I have been so lonely lately and don't know what to do. My husband left me for another woman, my son is rebellious, my neighbors are mean and I have just about reached the end of my rope. What can I do to have a happy life again? Do you have any advice for me?
Thank you,
Lonely Child.
Dear Lonely Child....
Your husband left because he was unable to cope with demands made on him, so he took the `easy` way out. Soon his new love will find he is as he was with you;weak,confused...a runner away from himself and things he cannot handle. Just remember that God can't bless him. We want him to, but he will grow what he planted.
(I assume you're his first wife) It's impossible for him to be faithful to the woman he ran away with. Since he wasn't faithful to you. He has to meet his deed somehow.
First, you must realize that you alone are a worthy person, deserving of happiness.
(I assume you are) so armed with this, go forward in life, not looking back.
Don't let your ex's treatment of you define who you are.
God made you in his image, so that means you are creative and able to move to a new life with his help.
If you feel you're standing on the edge of a cliff peering down into a dark abyss, move away from there immediately.
Find a hobby, go to where you will meet new people.
Save yourself.. run for your life.
Most of all, pray and ask God to protect you with his
guiding hand and show you the way.
He will. God bless you as you venture off to a new life.
Your son will see your efforts to move forward and having such an example, he will follow.
Remember victory is the word we use, not defeat.
Love is what we go on, not revenge or hate.
Move forward and smile and smell the roses along the way.
These words may sound like old cliches,but they work.
Love, your friend, Dr Heartache
Dear Dr Heartache, I did what you said. I moved far away from the dark scary abyss I was looking into.
I took a vacation to
Hawaii and have met new people.
I am happy again and want to thank you for helping me get off my rusty-dusty and get on my way to happiness.
You're right, my ex-husband's new love has already found herself a new love.
But I don't want him back. (He asked me back) I am moving forward holding
to God's hand.
So far I've made many new friends and have even lost
weight with my new exercise regime.
Right now I'm just focusing on me and life.
My son met a wonderful girl and will be getting married soon.
Voile! and praise God!
