Hi April and Welcome,
Glad you decided to join us. We are a bunch of really nice gals, some of us a little "nutty"... oops, did I say that???
Anyway, we are here to support each other and to listen to WHATEVER, so don't feel you can't unload.
I too have 3 grown sons and one grown daughter. Don't you feel somehow, somewhere, WE got lost in the shuffle?? I am now trying to find myself and reclaim my life, although I must admit, I loved being a mother and I was my own worst enemy. I gave so much, and did so little for me. For a long time after they left, I felt so useless and so alone, but I soon realized that no one wanted to join my pity club
and that I had to pick myself up and start taking care of me. This is a slow process but I am making progress.
This site has been very valuable to me, just reading and sharing has been very theraputic for me. Some of the ladies here will actually "slap"
the sense back into you when you need it. So, I encourage you to come back and talk with us. We don't have any professional solutions (that we leave to the doctors) just some suggestions and shared experiences that might make you sit back and reassess things.
Again, Welcome and come visit with us.
Meg
