Where do I go fromhere?

[saffie]

From a woman's point of view who is mainly a stay at home mom, (I run my own partime business as a tax consultant just to keep up to date so that I can go back to it if I want - when hell freezes coz over I hate it so much), when the kids get older it's hard.

Not only do your kids not need you as much but your friends have moved on. Your biological clock is telling you your function in life is gone. Your body starts letting you down - guys only seem to get more distinguished. Depression / MLC hit.

If you can be understanding and help your W through this then she won't forget you. I think it's great that she has got a focus - my H would die for me to go back out to work - we just disagree about what I would do. I want to do something I 'want' to do - he wants me to go back into my profession where I will earn more. I don't want to go back as all the people I knew professionally have moved on and I would have to go back lower down and crall my way back up. So instead I sit on my horse all day and think - your W's attitude is much more healthy.

If you can support her. The fact that the friendship has come / is coming back is good. Go with it and DBust.
