Hi - read your comment about 63 being too old on Heather's thread, to become a new person (or something like that) really no, only if YOU think so. I am becoming more resolutely adventurous again after a long period of cowardice and fear (trauma induced no doubt, but nevertheless . . . .) Not sure whether anyone builds relationships at our age like that any more.
Really pleased for my son - and in a weird way the hurt he has experienced at his father's hands have made him a stronger person. I hate to have to say it, but standing up his his father, and being his own person at too young an age have made him a tough young man. Not something I feel called to thank my xh for, but in a weird way I do not think the rather cossetted baby of the family would have had the drive to do this. Maybe he would.
