I'm new to all of this. My husband has moved out (1/2/16) after dropping the bomb back in August. I'm bewildered, and have stopped sleeping. How do you fall asleep when your brain is spinning through all of the things that have happened?

Cadet is the creator of the MLC Welcome Thread. However, he may be off the forum this evening, so I've copied and pasted the info in this posting.

Welcome to this board.

The first thing you should do is be sure to read the Divorce Remedy book by MWD,
Divorce Busting is also an excellent book.
http://www.mcssl.com/store/mwdtc2014/
http://divorcebusting.com/sample_book_chapters.htm

Keep this to yourself. DO NOT share this book or this site at all with your spouse. It is your playbook and not to be shared with the "opposing" team.

It is important to clear the search/browsing history from your computer on a daily basis to prevent the possibility for your WAS to stumble on the DB site and discover your posts here on DB. Erasing the search history will protect your posts and you as well.

Sorry you are here but you will meet some wonderful people here and get some great advice.

You may be on moderation now, post in small frequent replies and stay on this thread until you reach 100 posts (for your thread, you can also post on other peoples threads to give support)

I have read a good deal of books on the subject and can give you some suggestions when you are ready.

Take the parts of this advice that you need and don't worry if I have repeated something that you have already done.

I will give you a bunch of homework assignments to read.

This POST is under reconstruction and we will be working on this as time goes by, this is the most current version.

I would start with the going dark link.

Now you have all the tools to read. Let us know how your doing and if you have any questions.

I suggest that you read the entire thread in the resources.
You can also pick out some people and read their whole story.

Depression is the key to the whole thing and it is always present!

Believe none of what he/she says and 50% of what he/she does.

I would not ask him/her anything unless you can have no expectations.
Sometimes asking them questions will be thought of as pressure.
You do not want to do anything that can be thought of by your H/W as controlling or pressure.

Lets not worry about him/her. Lets work on you!
Start your homework assignments.
Something to DO while you are on moderation.
GAL.
Eat, sleep, exercise and take a deep breath.
In general take care of your self first.

Detach the single most important thing to DO.

Your H/W has given you a gift
THE GIFT OF TIME
use it wisely

Knowledge is Power - Sir Francis Bacon

Here's another thread that you might want to read and re-read as you travel the path.

Sandi2's 37 Rules

BTW, if you are having difficulty sleeping, you may want to see your physician and have him/her prescribed something for you.

It appears that you have two threads on the MLC Forum. To assist you and readers of your threads, please stick to one thread until you've reached 100 postings. At that time, you can create a new thread and w/a new topic title.

The reason we are asked to stick to one thread at a time is that it makes it easier for us to follow you and your progress/story. It is also easier for you to refer back to your old threads. When you have more than one thread going, it's difficult for all of us to follow and yes, sometimes, we aren't sure which thread to post to.

Just remember...stick to one thread until you reach 100 postings. You can change your subject line within your thread and don't need to create a new thread each time you have a question or idea. Okay?

Sometimes a good stretch or bedtime yoga helps me. A nice hot bath is good too. Something else I do from the DB book is to picture a stop sign when I have negative thoughts I cant seem to stop.

Hang in there it will get better.
