Empty Nest Blues

Quote From: kwindshawn

What horrible things to go through.  Seems like jobs just want us to be unfeeling robots, and as soon as our wires become crossed they want to throw us in the junkpile.  The world would be so much better if everyone just took the time to care for each other.  I am at a loss as far as advice, but I for one will be hoping for things to improve for you.  Hang in there and know there are people praying for you. :-)
Thank you for your kindness.

My children are all out on their own.  They are ages 21, 23 & 26.  I am so sad because I feel like my life purpose is gone.  You pour all your time and strength into raising the kids, then what?  I recently finished college and have started my own massage business and it has helped.  Now that I am doing for myself more it is causing problems with my husband.  He's so use to me being a housewife that the change is a shock.  I understand how you feel about no one being there for you - me too!!! We have got to be comforted at some point - why don't people understand?  Caregivers need comfort and support and a shoulder to cry on OR, like me, end up in the mental hospital for a week.  Girl - we have got to take care of ourselves and do what makes us happy or we will go crazy trying to please and take care of everyone else!!   Just imagine - a life with no drama - how nice - but only in the movies!!!
