I just want someone to tell me everything's going to be ok

I want someone to tell me it's going to be ok. Mine and my children's lives have changed completely, we've lost our income, we're likely going to lose our house, life is going to be incredibly hard. All because a stupid man selfishly only thought about himself.
I did everything right. Why is this my life now? How long is it going to be like this before things start looking up? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
Sorry, pity party over here.

Hi my lovely,
Im years into this journey and like the others have said your life slowly changes as the journey progresses - you adapt into a new life and the sun gradually shines. You live a life with scars.
Personally, for me, the sadness never quite goes away but I do my best to 'park' it and count the blessings and goodness I have in my life.. You accept you cannot change the past, gather all the strength you have and move on.
not sure if this makes sense x

I hear you. I too everything including my home etc. I'm 7 years in and going through it for a second time, my person is about to be sentenced again. You are spot on, they are selfish, 100%. X
Life is going to be ok. We're 1 year post sentencing and have found our new routine. Life is very different to what we'd imagined but so are our priorities. We now find enjoyment in more simple things and are learning to live for now rather than to think to far into the future. When I'm asked now what I strive for in life, my answer is contentment.
Life won't always seem as hard as it is now and one day you too will find yourself laughing about something you find funny and enjoying the moment you're in. I'm not saying you won't still have times when you'll feel sad, anxious or afraid because I do, but you'll come to realise that it's ok to feel all the feelings and that the sad times can be balanced by good time too.
I'm sending you a big virtual hug and giving you a shoulder to lean on. You're not alone, we're here for you.

I'm 2 years in and life is definitely getting better.
I called time in our marriage as I no longer trusted or respected him.
I'm dipping my toe back into the dating scene and having some fun.
I'm still a long long way from where I want to be - financially it will be tough - but I'm trying to live my best life and put this shit show behind me

I'm almost two years in and it's definitely better than a year ago, where everything felt utterly overwhelming. I still have a way to go but much calmer and starting to see the light.
