I have to thank everyone on this board. This has been the best therapy for me. I don't like to talk about it much but after 22yrs. I left a not so good marriage. The encouragement I get on this board makes me so happy it brings tears to my eyes. It is so nice to hear that I can do something good, and to not be belittled on a 24/7 basis. Your encouragement has been so wonderful, and I am beginning to feel like I can accomplish things I set my mind to. This has been a long uphill battle for me and you are taking my hand all the way. Thank-you so much, God Bless you all

I'm so glad to hear that you feel stronger than you did. This board seems to help so many that it's an honor to be part of it even if I can't directly help those on here :)
You can do anything you set your mind you, If you were strong enough to leave something you recognized as unhealthy than you are stronger than many women who are simply stuck without the will to fix what is wrong. Do not underestimate yourself, your strength is in your determination.

Well Said, BabyFire!

TimePasser ... quilting is good therapy!! Despite the adversities and difficulties in my life, I can set them aside and find peace when I find some quality time with my sewing machine!

As you have already discovered ...
The past cannot be changed.
The present is here and now, and soon gone.
And the future is whatever you want it to be!

Go for it!!!
... You are in control of making that future bright for yourself!

I applaud your power to change a bad situation to a good one for yourself. Change is one of the hardest things we will ever have to do in our lives. Just keep coming back to this board when you are down. The love and encouragement that is so freely given here is just unreal. I always come here when I am at a low time, and can always find good. Good luck to you in this new time in your life. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Timepasser, you are one strong woman. Don't ever doubt that point. When you took that first step to getting out of your situation, that was monumental. I know, I did it with 2 little children, and it was harder than hard. But it was the best thing I have ever done. You will see in time, the new you, strong and free. God Bless, Hugs, Toni

Just take it a day at a time, try not to put pressure on yourself to do anything you don't want to, then one day you will start to feel alive again, in the mean time we are always here for you. Been there done that and it's not an easy go.

Glad to hear that you have decided to put yourself first and do something that is in your best interest! I pray that each day you awaken with more strength and encouragement than you had the day before and may each day be a day of new beginnings for you. God Bless!!
