How to not go crazy during a divorce

I am about to go through a divorce. Even though we haven't even had our first hearing in court, I can already tell you this process will make you feel like you are going crazy. First I want to warn you that it will probably get old hearing me tell you about what else he did that would make your jaw drop. But remember, I am telling you to warn you that you don't want to go crazy but be ready for anything if you are about to be divorced. No matter how much you trusted that other person and thought you knew them you can't and you don't.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
First: Be ready for the unexpected (understatement of the decade). About a year ago I kicked my husband out because I found out he was lying to me about giving our errant and troubled son cash and other means to do the dastourdly deeds that got him into a lockup rehab. facility he is now in and will be for the next 9 months. He had been in a special school out of state and when our son came home for a visit, he ran away so as not to have to go back. It turns out that the not soon enough to be ex husband was enabling his running away and so was his family, keeping him at the family business so he wouldn't have to go back. By the way son was on the honor roll and about to graduate 5 months later too but they figured she is only his mom, what could she possibly know.
Step2
Step 2: After his being out of the house for nearly a year find out that not only did you ex have a problem lying about how he was handling the issues with the kids, that he also has a girlfriend he met at work several years ago and that his whole family has known about as they all work with him too.
Step3
Get ready for more fun and surprises because the worst is on it's way! I inadvertantly discover that my shady ex to be had bought a house over three years ago and I knew nothing about it.
Step4
Next I run across a letter the husband's skanky girlfriend in her ahem, brilliance, decides to write to my sons probation officer about how SHE has been working with him every week since he has run away and in her high falutency has concluded that the mother (me, whom she has NEVER met) is the REASON he numbs himself with drugs and alcohol because of my "unnurturing character". By the way this skanky scumbag is not in the therapy industry but construction. How much nervier can anyone get? She then offered to council me and my other grown children over emails as the ex's family encouraged her to contact us. This is for real. She really did.
Step5
On valentine's Day, today, my husband texted me saying I love you and Happy Valentine's Day. Also he has filed a continuance to avoid giving me support for another 2 months. Now if that's not love what is? He is going out of town with Skanky this weekend.
Step6
Most important steps of all steps: Get the lawyer that can out betray any Benedict Arnold for that is the only thing he understands at this point. Good luck and don't let your guard down. Did I mention change the locks on the house and put one on your bedroom door? Even though they have someone else they will act as if you are the one and only and will come around sniffing at the rear like the dog they are. My ex actually came in my room when I was sound asleep and kissed my neck then walked out. As he was shutting the door I was alert enough to realize what had happened.
Step7
Surround yourself with the utmost trustworthy and supportive friends. You will need them more then ever. Get checked for STD's and keep praying.
