This may be difficult for you to do at this moment, but if you can't do it now, I highly recommend that you do it later.
Go to a New Warrior weekend. Their website can be found at www.mkp.org/nw.htm
This group is dedicated solely to recognizing and understanding men and the issues they face. Men with the most serious issues to the most common- such as divorce- have gone to these weekends and found them to be an absolute salvation and life changing event. It's basically men who have been there helping men who are there now. I don't think there is an active group doing weekends in Florida, but I would guarantee there is probably a support group in your state. Contact the center closest to you. However it works out, don't be discouraged if you have to drive out of state for the first weekend. I drove two states away for my first weekend and it was the greatest thing I've ever done for myself on a serious emotional level at a time when I needed it the most. The cost may be tough right now with the divorce and all, but ask yourself how much your sanity and well-being are worth to you (and possibly your children if you have any) during this time. And if not now, when the dust settles you may need something to help put the pieces back together. This organization is it.
Good luck and take care of yourself.

We've been contacted by someone who is going through an intense divorce, and is looking for other men's groups or male-friendly support resources in or near the Orlando, Florida area. Does anyone know of anything around there? Please post anything in the comments section here if you can. It would also be of help to post any internet resources such as e-mail lists or forums that might be useful to someone in the midst of this kind of crisis. Thank you for your help!
