I am trying to cope, trying to move on but I just can't and I hate myself for feeling like this but I can't stop it. My husband left me for another woman...a good friend of mine to be precise, we have a little boy and he is the only reason I am still going right now. He as hurt me in the worst way possible and he didn't even fight for me and our son. I am so devastated, I just want to move on and forget about him, he doesn't even put our son first, he hardly sees him, its not only me he as hurt but our son and I hate what he is doing to him too. How do I make this horrible pain go away? I am at my lowest, I have never felt this low, did I really deserve this, all I ever wanted out of life was to be happy. I know he doesn't want us and I know he isn't coming back so how do I move on?

 You did not deserve this. No one deserves to be betrayed like this. You are in the storm right now, so you see no end in sight. You're feeling shattered, rejected, horrible pain for your son and you, and that is normal and natural. Added to that was the betrayal of your close friend.The way to help your pain is to talk to loved ones and other friends. Lean on them for support and love. If you feel that that isn't enough for you and that your pain is taking you uncontrollably underwater, OR if you're having thoughts of self harm, you need to talk to someone specialized in helping you and your son heal from this pain.Also, be patient with yourself. You're not going to get over this overnight. You're doing well by pouring love onto your son. Believe it or not, he will be instrumental in helping you heal. In this grieving process you're going through, at some point you'll go from wishing he'd pay attention and come back to utter disgust, disdain, and rage for what he did to you. This will help your pain immensely because you'll stop finding reasons to blame yourself. When this hits, you have to ride that out with as much love for your son and patience for yourself as well. This is your brain trying to heal and equalize itself.Try not to act out with anger when this happens. Your love for your son will help you ease the anger when it comes. Eventually, the anger will burn out into one of two things - bitterness or pity for your husband.Bitterness is dangerous for you, as it will hinder every relationship you make at this point. Pity is better, as you will realize that your husband was weak and contemptible. Eventually, your life will go on. But until then, just hang in there. take some breaks from your pain. Talk to family members. Talk to a therapist if the pain gets unbearable. Give your son lots of love and hugs.
