How to cope with Divorce?

About three weeks ago, my husband out of the blue tells me that our marriage is over. My husband was my son's stepfather and he does not understand what is going on. How do I go on and comfort my son?How to cope with Divorce?
When my husband of 15 years left me, I found comfort by reading the Book of Psalms in the Bible. I don't know your son's age but if he is very young, it is difficult to explain to him that his stepdad just called it quits because he was not happy and is going to start a new life without you. If your son is a little older, he may understand. I think prayer is the only answer....How to cope with Divorce?
Do you even know his reasons? I would bet he's found someone else. I'm actually impressed he told you in the first place. Find out if it's really, really over. And if so, (like I did with my children) tell them it's not their fault. And that mom and (whatever you call him) still love him and that it's between you and him only. That the child did nothing bad to make this happen. You have my sincere hope for luck and progress.
sue the lout and take the little tyke to Disney World. Is he being civil about the divorce, how is that being handled? I can tell you one thing for sure.. Any divorce industry professionals wanna back me up on this?... IF YOU ARE OK AND HE IS OK.. the kids will be OK... no fighting, back biting or talking $#irt behind each others backs. That just confuses the child and divides loyalties.. it is VERY destructive to the child.. SO DON'T DO IT!..If you can do this without fighting, I HIGHLY recommend ';Mediation';.. its cheaper and less traumatic for EVERYONE, but especially the child
You dint say how old you are but I'm dealing with the same thing...in my case I found out my wife mat someone on line and eventually ran off with him. It's been about three months now and the only thing that has helped me is being around people that love and care about me. Also I'm looking for new friends that are kind of going thru the same of have gone thru it for comfort.


Hey, write me an email and maybe we can help each other in the procces.
Divorce effects all members of the family..


try and comfort son, reassure him that his stepfather still loves him.


Try to keep things as routine as possible in your son's life.
Focus on yourself and do things that you have always wanted to do but couldn't for some reason. Try to feel good about yourself because its not about you ...its about him feeding his needs....its time you did the same for yourself. For me it was hard to sleep but I got into a regular exercise regime and it worked wonderfully to help me feel better about myself. In the end, you may end up agreeing that it was the best thing for both of you. Your child will be devastated at first. Get some self help books for both you and him (I can't tell you how many times I found my oldest daughter cracking open the divorce books to answer some hidden question she had). Be honest and forthright...he needs to understand that this doesn't mean he is not loved by both parents. My own experience is that my 2 girls got over the divorce alot faster that I did. Do some things for yourself, feel good about you and everything else will fall into place. Best of luck...
You didn't mention how old your son was, or how long your husband has been his stepfather. Are they close? Going on what you have said, I think that you should be honest with your son, of course, use your own discretion. It is very important that you make sure that you tell him how much YOU love him, and tell him everyday, several times a day. Good luck!
