My divorce was long, long ago. Books did save me, as I know it is very hard to talk about with friends. The stuff you go through is just beyond the experience level of most people from relatively sane and functional families. I looked and my favorite from that time was Crazy Time, by Abigail Trafford. I remember reading in this book, that it takes two years to get through the worst of it and thinking two years was far too long at the time. In retrospect, the two years was about right. Apparently the book has been updated. Looking on Amazon, there are many books out there these days and I was glad to see some on divorcing the personality disordered, which is a very special hell. I’m sure your library has copies of a wide variety of books on the subject. There need to be more first person stories written of the details of divorce, however most people just want to move on after the hellish time is over.

Sympathies. I know it hits on so many levels.
