I also read other inspirational stories. People can change.
I am embracing the change in myself.
I used to be frugal, a saver, the financially responsible one in our marriage. Maybe too cheap. Now I am spending more, saving less. Irresponsible? With 4 college-bound kids, maybe, but it is a 180 for me. I'm having fun spending money on myself now. When W sees me (I am out of the house), it is often with a new set of clothes.
another example: I'm wearing cologne.
I do more things I like, with or without kids. For me it is mountain biking, skiing, exercise outside. This helps keep my mood up.
I went back to church.
Don't give up hope. keep posting and sharing.
