[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here. Thank you for all the responses - they really do help. This is all still new/fresh to me. Sometimes, I guess I need the reassurance that the loneliness will eventually lessen/go away and I will be happy again. It's tempting sometimes to rush toward things that SEEM like they will make me happy again, like a relationship, but I know deep down that isn't true - I'm seeking that fast forward button that doesn't exist. I need the reminders to stick it out. [/quote]

I've been in your shoes.  The first week my kids stayed with their Dad and I was on my own - I didn't even know what to do with myself.  I went to work, came home and watched Ally McBeal.  Eventually, I figured out that I was being pathetic and could put that time to good use doing whatever the hell I want.  Now, almost 7 years later, I'm in a long term relationship and very happy but I also relish my time alone.  This weekend, my kids are with their Dad, the boyfriend is visiting his children and it's just me and the dog in the house.  It's effing glorious.

Take the time to get to know yourself and try out new adventures.  It's worth every minute.[/quote]
