[BeingMe]

Thanks, again, for the validation. What would I do without you guys? Go insane, no doubt! Sometimes, I feel bad when there really is no reason to feel that way, and I end up overdoing the conciliatory actions to make up for what I perceive (and they, my family, and even my H, encourage this) to be my selfishness.

Sometimes, I really don't feel I am living my own life, but I am getting there, slowly but surely. The guilt I used to feel isn't as sharp as it used to be. I think it's a good thing to live far away from family, especially mine. They are generally fair weather family members, unless they need me for something.

'Eh, enough about them. I am happy with myself, and getting even happier as I realise how foolish I have been in the past, and far I have come on this journey in the last few years.

I have awesome kids ... my S20 took me out for lunch today, and we had such a lovely chat about life in general. It's so nice when one's children actually like us, above and beyond loving us. I am really grateful for that.
