Heartbreak and Betrayal: Seeking Advice on How to Move Forward

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and support right now. My daughter, Emma, and I are going through a really tough time. We were sitting together, both in tears, because her boyfriend, Dylan, just broke up with her. To make things worse, I got a text message from my husband, Aaron, saying he’s leaving me after 20 years of marriage. I didn’t even get the courtesy of a face-to-face conversation.

I feel completely blindsided and heartbroken. I never thought Aaron would do something like this. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I thought we were solid. Now, I’m questioning everything. How do you even begin to process something like this?

Emma is devastated too. She thought Dylan was the one, and now she’s struggling to understand why he left. It’s so hard to see her in so much pain, especially when I’m barely holding it together myself.

We’re both feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. How do we start to heal from this? How do I support Emma when I’m falling apart too? Any advice on how to cope with this double heartbreak would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
