Too Much Bagage

Post Reply New Topic

I moved yesterday. I threw out 5 bags of garbage, gave 6 bags to the goodwill, and had the salvation army pick up a large item donation. Ten years ago this year I moved out of my house and left my husband. I was suffering from severe mental illness at the time and I knew it. Although my life was easier when I was married I am glad I left for two reasons: I was a burden to my husband, who deserves better, and, I feel stronger for the path that I have followed - it led to diagnosis and a lot of help.
So now, ten years later, I find myself barely being able to afford a room in the apartment of a young educational assistant. Bit of luck there actually; she works with disabled kids, so she may be able to deal with me.
I am starting an online program for job training but my mind is elsewhere. I can't help but wish this could just be over.

Seems like you're in a pretty good situation, over all.

Is the glass half full or half empty ... my kitty is happy. Kevin is currently wooing the female who belongs to my landlady. He is very happy.

You always want to make your kitties happy
