I agree with 4luv about doors opening in your life. Since I moved out -- she wanted out of the M and I decided to be 'big' and be the one to move, which for me was a mistake -- I started a new church that has given me several new social outlets. I found two part-time jobs -- one in the summer and fall and the other in the winter and spring -- that allows me somewhat to provide the lifestyle the girls have grown up expecting when they are with me.
Don't get me wrong, there are lots of downtime ahead of you where you look around and wonder what happened. There will be lots of moments where it feels like he's "won." I'm struggling with that this week. But every day is a chance to rebuild and it truly gets better with time.
