I have had lots of practice being vulnerable and open with the tree at the bottom of the garden lately...i suppose that does not count though. Just back from a visit there.
Seriously, i just don't seem to be able to resist lapsing into complete lack of emotional control. I know that it is unhelpful, but i do not seem to be able to catch myself before i crack. I am probably particularly stressed at the moment because i am waiting for my wife to break the news to me that she has formally separated from me. We live under the same roof. I am finding it all very hard to stay strong, even though i know that i have to, for my own sake, and for that of my children. In fact, for every body.
I feel ashamed to admit that i found a letter addressed to my wife when i was snooping. The letter was for an appointment for an interview to obtain assistance from the government as a single parent. The appointment date has passed. I am assuming that she attended.
Aaarrrgghhh!! I don't want to be separated. Why cant' i let go?
