[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry you are going through all this. - I was in an abusive relationship/marriage for more than 10 years and with two small children - and divorced in my late thirties - as I stepped out into the dating world, I reminded myself that you only grow when you step outside of your comfort zone -- so I challenged myself to do new things - and to just get out there- and resist the temptation to find a "replacement husband" and date around before committing to a serious relationship - even if you find someone you really like, force yourself to go out and date multiple people.,,,,,,,,,good luck!!! also finding a shrink is good...... I was terrified at age 37 when I stepped out onto the singles scene for the first time in years and now with young children, but I challenged myself to grow and relationships came naturally with that growth: I learned how to ski for the first time, learned how to surf for the first time (both terrifying to a nonathletic person like me!), i joined a backup dancing troup, and dated a men who I would normally never have imagined dating and several relationships later I am in a fulfilling committed relationship...  Good luck![/quote]
