You might laugh, but I am a psychiatric nurse. It just goes to show that even those of us "in the business" need a little love and support. I have been married 27 years, and I have an 18 yr old daughter and a 16 yr old son. To make a very long story short, if that is even possible, it is time for me to make a decision concerning my marriage. I feel as if I have been poised on the edge of a cliff for so long, and I can't go back and I can't go forward. Sometimes I feel that if I jump, I might just find my wings and fly, and sometimes I feel that if I jump, I will surely crash into the blackness below. Most times I think that either way, I would be free.

Anything my kids do interests me..lol. Music and flowers and good books. Intelligent conversation and goofy jokes. I used to teach Tai Chi, and enjoyed that very much, and always, I have loved horses, even though I don't have the time or money for them any longer.

Mmmmm. I go for it with nonfat mile and sugar free vanilla sometimes!!
Tea - Great. Be a superhero for yourself. I am today after long neglect of a consistent care and numerous attempts to support this going to have to take a dog my daughter wanted to adopt to the humane society. She has not consistent care for him and has so many issues wrapped around this. I know it could be so much worse - but there are accidents in the home, etc. Lots of anger issues -- so I am empathizing - and they all are converging around me (whether they are related to me or not). My heart breaks but with my work schedule, etc. and numerous attempts to support this, the follow through is necessary.
But not about me - do something nice for yourself. I had a way to decadent and costly chai tea latte yesterday and just walked around a bookstore. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Tea -- A small something for you - to let you know I hear you and also how I hope you are treating yourself well. I know the emotional, parental and fiscal aspects facing you are so difficult and find myself in many of those right now. I've spent the last week railing and beating myself up - and we know this does no good. I hear your frustration . The unemployment often a means for the other to also step aside from responsibility (believe me - mine has done so intentionally for over a year!). But, your insight and strength into what you can impact, change and control is so very strong. I'm sending you some chocolate and hugs because you deserve them. Be good to yourself.
Read what I wrote under your post and as I say to guy I really care about so much, that this will get better. It may take forever but it will...
I always look forward to reading your posts. It seems that there is always something to help me move forward. Right now I am beginning to plan my trip to a quiet beach-front hotel where I will give my self mental space and as much pampering I can afford (maybe it will just be room service, but what the heck!).
