Good.

I see fear and uncertainty, which is understandable.

I also see anger, which is understandable.

I see someone who is supportive. A care giver and nurturer. And an intellectual with a lot of interest in things and a fairly diverse skill set.

So...

The question you appear to be stuck with is...

Now what...

Well, you can't keep doing the same thing since the sitch has changed around you. That would be a little silly and borderline insanity... wink Still, it's all coming down on you at once. Your eyes are only now opening to the reality that doing the same thing is no longer working...

So...

Do something different...

You have a fresh beginning in life, even though it did not happen as you expected...

BTW: I do see a huge amount of expectations in your posts, as well.

How about making a list of about 4 things that you might investigate for this new phase of life you are entering?
