And also the loss of identity - I didn't realise just how much of "me" I had given over the years. I was someone's mum, someone's wife, someone's housekeeper, someone's banker.......when I had forgotten that I was actually "me" too.
Trying to deal with that was not something I expected, so came as a bit of a shock, and is taking time to come to terms with.

Sally, speaking as someone who has had a partner who disappears every week, Chloe just accepts it as the norm....treat it like it is normal and it will be normal, in her eyes at least.
I just misread that post and thought that was todays list, I thought running 3 times in one day was a little excessive lol.....Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

Morning Sally, hope it's a good day!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
