I'm 31 years old and just ended a three year relationship with my wife. When I moved here from Austria four years ago, I was quite homesick, then I met Kate, and things were wonderful. Now she's gone, and I feel I can't take care of myself because of my parents'
obsession with their luggage.
As a result of this, I lost my wife's happiness to damaged people.
I am intense when I act resentful through autonomy.
Please tell me how to survive and function while standing alone.
Sincerely,
Middle-aged & Sticky
Lucky for you, your problem is not uncommon. First, you have to come to terms with the fact that your parents' luggage had nothing to do with your recent break up. She left you because you are an immigrant. Don't be angry at luggage, be angry at your parents for being foreign.
There is still hope for you.
What you need to do is regain your self confidence.
Call your ex-wife and tell her that your "Uncle Rudolf" is in the Austrian Mafia, and is going to order a hit on her. This will make her beg for your forgiveness. You'll feel so much better about yourself when you hang up on her. If that doesn't satisfy you, poke her in the eye.
Good luck!
