Re: Shame in loss of the dream... hope: I get what others are saying but I feel a sense of shame too. Of course, divorce happens and no one did anything wrong. But...shame, because I felt so rejected, I wasn't good enough, I couldn't make it work, my life is now going badly, my father is embarrassed that I'm divorced. It matters, can't help it.
Re: Shame in loss of the dream... soreheart: Friends keep telling me I have nothing to be ashamed of but I still feel ashamed. Feel maybe I could have done something different. Feel like a failure.
We shouldn't feel like this, but I understand that we do.
Re: Shame in loss of the dream... hope: It is what it is, I think. I feel ashamed about the whole thing, feel like a failure too. And something did fail.
