#2 SHE LEFT. I BROKE.

After she left, my life fell apart quickly. This is the second video in my Starting Over series, and it begins to explain what happened after she walked away. At that time, I was still in denial. I was still married. Somewhere inside me, I believed that surely she would come back. Instead, I entered Ashley Treatment and had to face the reality that the person I had built my life around was no longer willing to be my emergency contact. That moment hit me hard. I can only tell my version of the events. This is not to blame her, but in the hope that my eventual recovery and new life might encourage other men who have ever had to start over so late in life. This video is about abandonment, collapse, treatment, denial, and the beginning of a very long road back. If you were part of the old Sailing Nervous days, thank you for being here as I begin this new chapter. Starting Over continues. #StartingOver #SailingNervous #Recovery #MensStories #LifeAfterLoss
