You can imagine how some of your family will react, they too will be shocked, and especially if they didn’t know that the marriage has problems. You should never tell your family on the phone, in a letter, or on the answer machine. If you don’t think you can face someone and tell them, then don’t tell them at all. Wait until you have had time to accept it and when you are in a good state of mind. Let the shock happen.

Therapy is a great starting place because you can find yourself again and you can identify things that will help you move on.
