Good for you for uncovering what is really going on instead of just heading off to Nepal. I might join you by the way!

I thought about removing it, but it is an honest look at how my life was at that stage. I had so much invested in my marriage and our life together and when things went haywire it really threw me. Things are a lot better now - although I may be taking antidepressants for the rest of my life to combat the fallout + menopause + they reduce my headaches and help me sleep. I'm a lot more accepting of other people's weaknesses now and definitely believe in "never say never" Thanks so much for your support xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-63505646107700449592015-09-19T10:31:58.581+08:002015-09-19T10:31:58.581+08:00Leanne I had never read this post before and it ha...Leanne I had never read this post before and it has me crying so hard. While it was brilliantly written my heart broke for you. You are one of the strongest people I know and it's not just tonight I get it by your posts. You have a resiliency like no one I know and I admire you so much for that, but part of me wants to say you deserve a soft place to land for however many days, weeks, months or even years it takes you. What happened to you is one of the most devastating things that can happen to a woman our age. We all fear it in the back of our minds and anybody that doesn't is a liar. You deserve to have a safety net. You deserve to be loved and cherished. You are a remarkable woman to have raised two fine children and from what I read you've been the stable, supportive one. I don't want to over step my bounds and you can delete this so no one else sees it. Heck I've had a cabin in the woods decorated, paid for and needing renovated in my mind I've decorated it so many times. We love our families and when you come from a screwed up one I think you hold on even tighter to it because you know it's something special, but sometimes you eat a lot of crow as well. I'm rambling and I guess what I intended to say is if you need a shoulder I'm here.Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296781992150172086noreply@blogger.com
