I should write a book, nobody would believe my story.
I do want to say that throughout this craziness I have done some pretty awesome things for myself.
I went back to school, started a business, sold my business and now have another career. Two weeks ago I walked my daughter down the aisle when she got married. I have been travelling and have been spending some quality time with my adult children. I took all of them and their significant others to Maui a couple of years ago. And the kids and I have been making new traditions for the holidays.
So those are the positives. And I am proud of them.
But sometimes, not always, but sometimes, I am incredibly lonely because there were so many plans for the future, travelling, growing old together, etc. wanted so much for my marriage to survive. But if I have learned anything, it is that we cannot control anyone. We can't make anyone do anything that they don't want to do. And that's a hard pill to swallow.
