Find an emotional support partner (Even if It’s Just to Cry)

Find someone who will let you vent without needing solutions. Sometimes I show up at my friend’s place place, cry for 30 minutes, have a glass of wine, and go home. I don’t need advice—I just need to let it out.My husband, brother, and close friends provide that space where I can be honest about how hard this is.
