What are we doing to move forward?

[tryingtobeagain]

Just thought I'd like to create a thread that we can all post and share about what we are doing to move forward in our lives. It can be anything from moving on from the relationship to moving toward reconciliation. It will be nice to support each other when we're feeling down and also to get ideas of how to cope or repair.

I'll go first:
I'm really doing some personal development. I'm preparing to be baptized and also building on my self-esteem. I'm gotten closer to God which has changed how I value myself. I'm getting out with friends and writing alot (they say that breakups are a major inspiration to writing). Other than that just focusing on my daughter and doing some outreach work which makes me feel good.

Well lets see. I went back to playing chess, which I hadnt played in over 30 years. I spend a lot of time on Christian Forums which I have not done since right after my wife and I fell apart. I play Call of Duty all I want without anyone asking me when I am going to stop that silly game. I eat when I want, I go where I want, and I dont have to explain to anyone WHY I am do that.
Of coarse I go to work and stuff. I just live day to day and enjoy it as much as I can.

I have distance myself from him, As I know that our marriage is well and truely over (in Australia you have to be seperated a year before you can divorce) We are selling our house. Also looking for a new place for a fresh start. I am pursing my dreams this year. Been wanting to go back to school since start of our marriage but his needs always came first and we put him through first. THen he always said we couldnt afford for me to go back. So I am starting back at TAFE second semester to hopefuly become a graphic designer and I cant wait. I am also spending time on me, working with a councilor and growing closer to God. Refocusing my energies back into a relationship with God. And seting up a more stable invironment for my kids . I dont have be screamed at or talk down to any more. Me and my kids dont have to walk on eggshells to we work out what mood he is in anymore, we are no longer subject to his mood swings.

I'm taking college classes in the Fall. Afterward, I will be eligible to seek full-time employment in my profession! So, I'm not waiting any longer to become financially self-supporting. One day dh will stop giving me his whole paycheck, which I am dependent on right now. I want to be prepared for my future without him.

I also have a lot more time on my hands to read scripture, meditate on it, and pray. Praise God.

I'm really encouraged by all of everyone's posts about how they are getting back on track and moving in a positive direction. That is what we need to do at this time in our lives.
