Hi James, I am a 33yr old single mum, going through a reluctant divorce due to my husband's infidelity during & after the birth of our daughter.

The split was my choice as I couldn't forgive him. What I would like to know is will I ever get over this & will I meet someone else? As at times I feel very lonely.

Clare, Crewe

Dear Clare, I know it's easy for me to say 'yes you will', but we all have to go through certain things in our lives that we feel we cannot carry on and of course there is no future, but the proof that you have got this far should make you feel that you can do better and you will.

No one deserves to be treated the way you have, but you're not the first and you will not be the last. Coming through this period you will be stronger, try not to be harder, the new person in your life does not need that lesson and neither do you.

I feel you have had some connection with a church and a religion. You will again and this is where you will find the happiness that you truly want and deserve.
