Timepasser, what a great name! yes it does take time to get over the emotional stuff, but YOU WILL! have that faith that you can do it! and just step out and do it, I am sure you have gotten great support form this board, I know I have many times over.
I don't know the name of the song or the group that sang it. But it inspired me, If you ever watch Star trek enterprise, the beginning song lifted me up when I was on a downer, By faith I CAN do anything( with Gods help of course) but its a song you should listen to a few times. You can do it! this test will help you grow....

You can do it! I finally grew my backbone in my late 40's. Went back to school became a RN (loved it) and actually met a great guy that put my faith back into men, married. Now retired and widowed but would not even think of giving up the last 20 years of my life. Hang in there I know it gets tough but you are stronger than that.

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.

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!

Congrats on having the courage to get out of a bad relationship. Right there, we know what spunk you have! If you can do that, you certainly CAN do anything you set your mind to! Blessings right back at you!!!

ITs time for a new life to begin as the seasons do,and sounds like you have taken the road that you want to be on, an will embrace it. Quilting and sewing is therapy for me after a rough day at work-it takes the mind into a zone of its own. It truly helps when you have like minded people who enjoy quilting and sewing to help you along that road.. Good luck and if ya need an ear, I am sure none of us will mind if you pm !!

I can only imagine how difficult it is to be stuck in a marriage that you were made to feel less than a human. I just want you to know that God loves you just the way you are. And He will give you the strength in the days ahead to face anything you set your mind to. I will be praying for you. Keep in mind that your love for quilting will not go without being notice. I will be looking forward to your posting of your quilted items.

The step out the door is the hardest one of all. Now you will gather strength as you go along...the sun will shine brighter...life is just so good. I am glad you left the abuse behind. Now watch carefully not to allow it back in your life. Enjoy every moment. I am glad to be a part of this wonderful board..so many caring people. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

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 left a 21 year marriage in 2001 and started my life over. Friends became more important (He didn't want me going out with girlfriends since he assumed we were out hunting for better men than he was!), I have traveled a lot, which he said was a waste of money....and I could go on and on. Enjoy doing those things that you didn't do when married but wanted to; they are more meaningful now since you had to wait to do them! Glad the hard part is all over; now your new journey begins......
