My husband and I split and I get very emotional. He left me actually no one knows why and he won't talk to me and little things trigger me and I get teary eyed and my 15 year old brother says things like "why are you so lame, why do you have to cry over a man" etc
And he rolls his eyes at me. It hurts a ton. I'm 26.
He's immature to react like that, but you're 26, and that's old enough to know that 15 year-old kids can be ignorant jerks. He doesn't have the life experience to understand what you're going through. Or maybe he's a budding psychopath who has no feelings for anyone other than himself.
A spouse who leaves without explaining why doesn't deserve your tears, although I bet he'd be happy to know he's having that effect on you.
Ignore the stupid kid, and focus on sorting out your life and moving forward without the asshole.
You are 26 years old and you took the bait from your 15 year old sibling.
If anything, you don't have the emotional stability of an adult yet. Sad.
See a therapist for your depression.
I'm sorry your marriage end, these things happen, but be thankful you did this young. Most divorces happen in the late 30s or early 40s. You're young enough to find a waaaaay better man, get to know him, and all that.
Along with therapy, take a year long break from relationships and get to know yourself again. Learn who you are as a single person. Do things alone, explore hobbies you've always wanted to try. Being a couple for a long time can sometimes take the "you" out of things since it's always "us."
As for your brother, ignore him. Relationships ending can be devastating, especially a marriage. He'll understands when he starts seriously dating, but for now, work on you.
He doesn't know what you're going through, and, at 15, being a hormonal nightmare..May be working on you for himself. You're already broken down, so he may think if you hit rock bottom (and he helps that happen by degrading you), he has a shot.
