I'm glad for you too. You have the time and space to heal. With little ones you barrel through life trying to teach and care for them while being shattered. And doing it with less than half the resources you had before.
Best thing for you to do is live. Don't be irresponsible or blow what you have but take a trip to place you always wanted to go and she never let you.
Take some chances. And its an old spiritual formula but it works, when you get really down, serve. Do something to help people less fortunate. It gets you to appreciate what you do have and it makes you feel a part of something greater. For me the 2 things that have kept me from going bonkers is God and my kids. And when I'm not doing too well I come here and get all stupid.
Every month or so I get reminded I need to chill out. Thanks for posting your story. By you sharing it helped me. And that, my brother, is where we get strength. We will get through it so that one day we can be there for someone going through what we are experiencing now.
