Marriage of 16 years has broken up... the children have been taken into foster care with no hope of returning home. Both as a result of husband molesting one of the children.
How does the woman now start over? What would you do?

You need support right away. Talk candidly with the case worker and make an appointment with a mental health professional right away. Some churches offer DivorceCare/group where you can find additional support. Surround yourself with loving, caring, and knowledgeable people. Best to you.

Avail yourself of all professional care you can get, and best of luck.
First, get professional help to deal with these problems. Anytime anyone goes through that it changes their outlook on life. I know it's been said before, but this is a major thing. There's no shame in asking for help, just do what you need to do...
Ok. The marriage is over. He molested your child. Nothing could possibly worse than that. No matter how much you loved him, no matter what you thought the relationship was, it wasn't and it is over.
You have a choice here: pick yourself up, get help and move on. Or: wallow in self pity forever while your kids languish in foster care. See, the decision was easy. Now, like the others said...get help, all the help you can. Get yourself in a good place and then go get those kids. They need a mother who is mentally together and can care for them.

You start over by getting some professional help for yourself as well as involving yourself in activities that you enjoy which will lead to friendships with like minded people. When you child/children are taken away, that can almost kill you inside; you need a lot of emotional support on that issue. Can you have the child/children back?
You need to face some real hard truths in order to rebuild correctly. The easy path will not usually get you there. That's probably best done with someone to help guide you through it. Done right it will be excrutiating but necessary and eventually you can build back up. Hardest part is finding the right guide person. Don't settle keep looking but be careful too, you made one bad choice in your husband - this next one is important.
