 It's a really easy process when you have the option of having absolutely no contact with the person anymore, I don't have that luxury.

I realize It's easier said than done, but you need to take control of your emotions and not allow others to do It for you, hence negatively Impacts on your state of mind.

Although no two cases are ever the same, I've been through It a couple of times and I'm speaking via personal experience. I wish you all the very best, and you can always reference/post In this thread when seeking assistance and/or advice.
