I am a 57 yr. old stay at home grandma who is finding out the hard way I can not take care of myself !! I have been married for 40 years & believe me they were not happy years but for differant reasons I stayed untill last Dec. when I left and moved in with another man. I just seem to always find myself attracted to the WRONG men! Now I am just weeks away from being seperated long enough to file for a divorce but with no traning and a load of health problems I can't take care of myself Help Me!! I have read many post here that tell me this is where I am going to find people that are sincere about giving others help and support so PLEASE hit me with whatever you think just might help me. By the way I am VERY hard headed so it just might take a 4x4 to get my attention !!

Up until very recently my ONLY interests were my grandkids and I truly mean they were my ONLY interest! Now I am on a serious journy to find myself and to do things for just ME! I always felt that I didn't deserve to be treated any better than my family was treating me ! I also felt that it was selfish to do things for just me !! So has anyone else been down this street before me that has ANY advice for me on my own journey?

I'm glad you liked the pick-me up. I wish I had someone telling me this stuff at that time. I'm not about to recommend a 5yr pity party unless Brad Pit were there --Now that would be a Pit-ty party, to date someone like that, ooo.
Now, Keep Busy :>)
If you are going through hell - Keep going!
It doesn't matter how long we have had a problem, fixing it once is all it takes.
You've been given a different path to follow, I know you can do it. I, too, was in your shoes at one time.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So do it today. Explore. Dream. Discover. Just do it. :>)
thanks bunches..i need as many little moments to smile as i can find right now :)
Aww, thank you so much! The women on here are great. This place has helped me so much. I dont feel so alone now!
Thanks, your right. I dont want to give up. My head tells me to, but my heart tells me to hang on.
Trying to find someone to chat with about how they handled leaving a very long time marriage( mine is 40 years)I have no training because I stayed home all those years and I have alot of health problems also. Someone please help !!
what really is bothering me for the past year or so is the horrible RUNS to the point that i can't go far from the toliet I have had colon test several times and nothing has shown what is causeing the "runs" I have tried everything over the counter and several precrip. but nothing seems to help for long.It has become so bad that I can't get to the toliet in time! I have no warning ahead of time. I wear "diapers" and still end up having to change my sheets and clothes several times a day.HELP!
To lear from those that have already taken this path to improvment of thier lives without the person they thought they would be with forever!
To be able to talk to others about the lonelyness that comes from shareing a house with a man that is never really there.
