Sweet Chica, you are brave to say these things out loud.

So I will too.

I fear he's never once looked back, never once regretted, never had the first doubt.
I fear it's all about me, not all about him.
I fear he lived 12 1/2 years of hell before he got the nerve to finally say enough.
I fear he said what he thought I wanted to hear, not what he ever meant.
I fear I can't take care of the farm, the house, the animals, me.
I fear I won't be able to afford to retire.
I fear I will be the crazy old lady with dogs, not cats.

There's probably more I fear but I'm afraid to think too much about it for fear of what I will uncover.

BA
