Moving on after breaking up

Susie came to me three months later. She felt she’d been through the worst: the tears, the pleading for another chance, the miserable evenings calling every girlfriend she had just to go over the whole thing again. She had accepted – just about – that Dan wasn’t coming back. But she felt stuck about how to move forward.

‘I don’t know how to get to the next step,’ she told me. ‘I’m still trying to sort out the details of separating from Dan, like who gets what and when to divorce. He still pops round to the flat to get things he left there and when I see him I feel back to square one.

‘I hate being single, I just feel washed up and rejected and I can’t imagine anyone else fancying me or wanting to be with me. When I’m really low I watch our wedding video and think about what a failure I’ve been at marriage.’

Caro gave Susie an action plan for getting over Dan and putting her life back on track.
