Hi – I wound up here because I'm in a similar situation, and was just looking to talk to someone.

I'm 36 (m), and divorced my wife late last year after she got addicted to prescription pills – we were married for about 10 years, together for 14. She became a completely different person, and ... the person she became, and the things she did, absolutely gutted me.

I feel like I'm just going through the motions every day. I take care of the house, go to work, buy groceries, volunteer, feed my cat. I feel invisible most of the time, but being visible isn't much better. I live in a family neighborhood, and I've come to hate meeting new neighbors – I'm always being asked about my wife, whether I have any kids.

Every few months, it all gets too much for me to bear, and I just have to cry. Anyway, I'll be up for another 30-60 minutes if you feel like saying 'hello'.
