Thank you so much snodderly and Creed for your kind words. Actually my health is fine for a 60 year old and I do intend to keep teaching part time - just signed a contract for two days a week -perfect.God seems to have provided for me all along the way-but not anwered my many prayers for reconciliation. He knows best.What hurts me most is that my husband knows that Im neither lazy nor avaricious. Afraid I shot off an angry/hurt letter to my solicitor(not her fault!)saying that I had always worked and contributed half and that he broke the contract and that I had expected a comfortable retirement etc.So hard not to get emotional but of course it is a business matter.He is now back living in our marital home. I left so much behind there will be memories everywhere for him.I still swear he is not a bad man and so the day he turns and looks this in the face I fear it will overwhelm him.Or not. Either way life goes on. Thank you again friends thank goodness for this site. Whenever I have posted in distress a reply never fails to comfort x
