Guess i've missed a few posts that have been cut, looks like those little grimlins are at it again... Sigh...
Gomez, you are quite welcome here, and I hope whatever was in those remarks didn't scare you away. Of course everything is going to feel strange and new, and you have no idea what the future holds. But, I agree with the others, you've taken some great big steps in getting yourself a better life. It's scarey, yes, but the more decisions you make, the more confidence you will gain in being able to manage your affairs. See, you moved. On your own. And you survived! And, it's actually a good thing. It might take a while for you to realize that, and for it all to sink in. You are very young, you have lots of time to build for a future. You can make a new start. You've taken the first steps to make that happen, now, what's your next step? Do you have a job? If not, do you want to get a job? Just take one thing/one day at a time. Don't stress out about what's not being done, but keep a list of all you have done for yourself and your children. And, take a few minutes each day for you. Take a bubble bath, watch a favorite show, read a good book, something that makes you feel good. And enjoy it! Often, we're made to feel guilty for doing something we enjoy. But, it is really sooooo needed, for us to recharge our batteries.
Keep us posted on how things go, I wish the very best for you.
Congratulations on your new start
