Kate...


I am sooooo glad you are going to festival of lights....you deserve to enjoy this and so much more....


Its hard to bounce back when mums are critical but remember you are living your life your way the best way you know how....


As for dating....go for it....if you like a nice man..(the key being nice)...don't wait for him to approach...ask him out for tea, wine, a show whatever...dont have any expectations and just enjoy his company and BE YOURSELF...u are a sweetheart through and through....

Wait ... one last post-script : if I could find a man who loved Chex Party Mix and could eat mass quantities, I would marry him tomorrow.

Kate,


If you are happy with yourself and you have a job that pays you for your skills, the heck with perceptions.

The one thing that jumped out at me in your post is that no matter how old we are, our mothers have such power over us .
