First, I am sorry you are going through this. I can only imagine how bad it must suck right now. You're not going to avoid it, so you have to go through it. You can't run, you must face your reality and deal with it as best as you can with some professional help.

Second, you have to figure out a way to stop feeling sorry for yourself. If this is the way that you grieve, fine, but don't stay stuck in grief. Life is not fair. People do bad things. People make bad decisions. People are dishonest. People cheat. All those things, but you know what, you're still here. The sun comes up every morning, and you have today, as in right now, to change your outlook and outcome on life.

Nobody gets through life unscathed.  Not you, not me.  But then you’re left with a choice.  Are you going to let your grief drown you, or are you going face it and come through on the other side?

No amount of anxiety will change your future, no amount of regret will change your past. Peace is found in acceptance. Stay focused on today, and take it hour by hour, minute by minute.

Time helps heal, providing you are doing the necessary work physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.

Don't spend any time trying to figure out why she did what she did to you. Instead, use that time, effort, and energy to put the focus back on to you. It's less about her right now and all about you.

I'm happy to listen to you offline. While I never will be in your shoes, I have experienced a lot of pain, anger, resentment, and hurt like you, and I am here to tell you, that you will be okay. My offer is not empty, I'll be glad to share my personal number with you.
