I thought I would die when my first marriage ended. Hardest thing I've ever gone through, including the untimely deaths of my mom and sister, because the grief and pain that followed their deaths wasn't deliberate. The things I had to endure from my ex were knowingly and purposely done expressly to cause me as much pain as possible. Having someone go from saying you're the best thing in their lives one day to the most evil person in the world a heartbeat later -- with no apparent reason for the shift -- will fuck you right up.
