Hey Jazzy, I don't really have enough knowledge or experience to contribute to this thread. I'm just here to say that I've listened and I wish the best of luck to you.

Mostly what I been doing is just trying to get through the ending of my marriage. It's so hard to try to work through anything while still being abused by wife. She gaslight me so much, even now as she's making huge strides to get the next chapter of her life started. She got a good job starting in January already.
Really makes me feel like being passed on, left behind, overlooked.

Or, in today's language, you weren't enough.What I and my good family members experienced was quite like that, sadly.
