[QUOTE="OTE, post: 83815"] Some of us are lucky enough to re-create ourselves several times in our lives. I view a divorce as a chance to re-create yourself. As others have said, it takes time, it's painful but you will get through it better on the other side...if you try. Some prefer to remain stuck in anger, grief, etc. I don't see that as a good choice. So focus on who you want to be. Make a list of short term goals and long term goals and then work towards them. If you have free time and that bothers you fill up the time! Look at those goals and figure out what you can do with that time towards your goals. If nothing else take a course in something you always were curious about or wanted to do. I prefer the low cost SD evening courses. Personally every time that book comes out there's about 10 courses I want to take from new foreign language to how to change the oil in the car. Nothing makes me feel better than volunteer work. Free time? There's always some volunteer work waiting. Presumably you know that many of us are jealous. Your kids are older, you're not stuck in the house with little kids. All that freedom!!! Check out the book by Gail Sheehy called "The Seasoned Woman". [/QUOTE]
