What Kelly said is very true, about breakups. It can be very traumatic.
I hate to sound like a cliche, but life DOES go on, painful as it is.
Let me put it in perspctive for you: my parents used to beat the crap out of me every day. Paint stirrers, electrical cords, wire hangars, leather belts. Did your love do that?
