Dear Dr. Romance: I'm a single mother suffering in depression and stress

Dear Dr. Romance:

I'm a single mother suffering in depression and stress.

I met my ex husband online, we fall in love and got married. He was a Middle Eastern guy. We had a daughter, the marriage didn't last long and we got a divorce. I was aggressive, i used to break things, yell at him and asked for a divorce in anger. He was too much into his friends and work. He had no time for our daughter or me, and we were living in another country where I had no family or friends. I used to fight him to come to my home country at least 2 times a yr, but he didnt like it. Last time I went home to finish my graduation exams, he divorced me by email a few years ago, even though I begged him not to.

My daughter is almost school age. she lives with me, I am back in school to have a better future but I have a lot of anger. I feel like I was ditched and thrown forcefully. My stress increases when I hear his voice when he calls to talk to my daughter, and I hear him saying he hopes to marry someone else, and that I didn't truly love him and I left him. I feel angry when my daughter asks him why he doesn't live with us. I still have feelings for him but i know he doesn't care. When try to date another man, after few days i compare him to my ex, and end it. I want to be happy. Please help me.
