Value-add to faith

I feel like that's where for non-kid having people the zero contact policy comes in. It's about killing that hope, and stopping you from interacting with someone and then making up bullshit scenarios where you get back together.
With kids in the picture, it seems like there's no shortcut. Gotta be a real, honest god adult and get your emotional ass kicked till you get through it.

Don't give up hope, hope is all we have in this life. The trick is to hope for different things. Hope your kids grow up well, live good lives, and do good in the world. Hope that the next Call of Duty is better than Ghosts. Hope that you never have incontinence. Hope that Warhammer Quest gets reprinted, and it's production value is better even than Space Hulk. Hope that it's price point is 20$ MSRP.
If your marriage is dead, don't look at it as a "failed marriage". That's a trap as big as any in history. Think of it as one chapter closing and a new chapter opening. Life is a journey - a story - and you are the main character in your story. Just because that chapter has closed doesn't mean the story ended...just that the chapter ended. Look forward, not backward. Your story can be AMAZING, you simply have to have the perspective that allows you to realize that bad things happen to good people, and that one stumble, however large, does not end your story.

I think it took me as long as the relationship had lasted to free myself from the psychological dependency. Your life gets so entwined that it leaves empty spaces. Every time you encounter them, you feel the loss. The challenge is to fill those holes. Some people fill them by just jumping into a new relationship as fast as possible, others fill them up with friends, hobbies, drugs.
