That was a black hole time of life.....but......

Finally got a way out of being trapped in that marriage. Moved 2100 miles away & got to start life over in a wonderful small town where I didn't know anyone. I now enjoy life alone on my farm I had always wanted anyway. Surrounded by wonderful people. Lots of purpose every where I turn from caring for abused /neglected horses to volunteering with a great group decorating for horse shows at the horse park. I have wonderful people I go to great bible studies with. Sit & discuss problems. I am now around people who communicate in a rational way & have found out that I am OK after all. I enjoy painting, knitting, & walking through my woods. Life can get a lot better. I have more of a family of friends than I ever had with those I was related or married to
Thank you for this post, eskielover. I'm 52...53 in December and I battle the feeling of 'the game being over' every day. I hate feeling that way. On Tuesday, I'm attending a meeting for prospective library volunteers...hoping that leads to something...more meaning in my day-to-day life.
