Monday will be three weeks since I have left. I moved to another state with the children. I have got a job and start this week. The kids are enrolled in their new schools and really like them. The big kids are temporarily staying with their dad until I get a place of my own. I even went on a date with an old friend last night and it was awesome. I got away physically, now i have to work on mentally and emotionally. He has been able to drag me into his madness a few times over the phone. I feel lonely most days, but over al...I feel terrific. I couldn't have done it without all of the support here.!!!!! Thank you everyone. I have a long way to go, but took the firts step.

So happy for you and the kids too. It's amazing how resilient kids are. It's important that they be happy too.
The steps of grieving are Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance and oh boy, when you finally get to Acceptance, it is an amazing feeling.
Keep working your program :),

I'm thinking Gutsy, Proudful, Icandoit, might be some good names for you. Way to go girl! I am so proud of you!
This is the way to take back your life. The lonliness will pass. Just keep doing what you're doing. Glad the kids are doing well. You give everybody out there who thinks they can't make the change they want to, that they can. You are living proof! Love to you and the kids. This is what living strong is all about. Keep it up!
Live strong - oh, you're doing that!
