It's been over a year now since my ex-wife of six years booted me out of the house and forced me into twice weekly supervised visits with my young son. The mental breakdown I suffered from the sudden separation and anxiety caused me to self-harm and subsequently put me in a psych ward for five days. If it hadn't been for a good friend of mine letting me stay six months in his spare room for free, I'd be in another state or possibly dead.

Now I live in a studio apartment with a cheap car and a mediocre job, barely scraping by, while she lives rent-free with her parents, has our son 98% of the time, and has basically everything I don't.

So... how do y'all do it? Some of you had marriages that were ten, twenty, thirty years before things fell apart. How do you deal with it, even after the fact?

TL;DR: It's been over a year and I've got nothing after the divorce while she has everything including my son and I'm still struggling to cope with everything.
