Movingon,


I remember what it was like being "nowhere near" being ready to make a change of the magnitude I am preparing to make right now.

You know its funny, because one thing that had left my life was music when I was married.

You said: "Do you know anybody who doesn't have fears about what lies ahead?

Camult,


For a long, long time, I suppose (and I can't imagine otherwise), I'll still have the lyrics to "That's My Story and I'm Stickin' To It" popping into my head.

You're welcome!


Ya know, I think that my biggest fear of failure was that I didn't want to do anything that would upset the applecart of my children's lives :-)

Oh my! I think you and I are in the same place. I am at 30 thirty something years and told my husband I wanted a separation. I too, thought I might die young if I didn't do
something .THe constant stress is too awful. The relationship has eroded so much I feel like I've been grieving about it for many years. I retired recently and have forced myself to get involved in activities, any activities to keep up my resolve. Good luck to you and me.

Wildlucky Karen,


This is getting spooky! Before I opened your reply, I was outside gazing at the stars and it hit me why I stayed!

It really sounds like you are able to communicate to your children... and that they are hearing what you're saying.

It takes a lot to recognize that life goes on, whether you are in a dead relationship or happily going about your merry war, or somewhere in between.
