Dear Suze Q. I married my high school sweetheart and best friend, and I was the perfect wife and mother. The last child is moving out and my husband told me he wants a divorce. No reason other than he wants to move on -without me. He only wants his personal goods and the rest is mine. I’ve never worked and have no marketable skills. I’m terrified.
Dear Terrified, You’re experiencing a life crisis. If reactions are severe or persistent, or you’ve not at your normal functioning levels after a year or two, it’s critical to seek professional help. Assess your individual vulnerability and strengths (personality traits, past experience and recovery, support systems). When you’re ready -capitalize that the world is your oyster. Put your energy into becoming whoever you want, become your own best friend, and pledge to never let yourself down. Fight against your fear of loving again or trusting another. Love opens doors, fear keeps them closed. -SQ
