Well today is my 39th Anniversary!! We are so proud that we have made it through all the hurdles (and there were many) and come out together! We have two grown children and six grandchildren and everyone is doing well. That's why people don't understand why I'm depressed. They tell me "What do you have to be depressed about?" I don't think anyone realizes that it's a chemical imbalance. I can remember being 9 years old and crying in bed worrying that my Grandpa might die. I've always been oversensitive and I'm starting to believe there aren't many people who "grow" a thick skin. Guess I'm stuck with this. Anyway, it's a good day and we are going out to dinner at the first restaraunt we ever went to.

CONGRATULATIONS!Have a great anniversary.
And I know what you mean about the people who don\'t understand. However, it sounds like the most important person (your husband)understands.

ALOTBSOL - You have six grandchildren---what a BLESSING!!

Thank you stevie! Yes, he realized before we got married that I was sensetive. Neither of us would have suspected that I would end up an alcoholic though. We both support each other 100%. He\'s a wonderful guy!
