I'm with you FebStorm......I would love to be a genius too. (Just so I didn't feel so stupid all the time!!) I thrive on the words of great thinkers. :yh_think

<t>Good advise. Actually, I have felt tremendous amounts of guilt all along for not seeing what was going on sooner, maybe before it was too late . One of my first steps to understanding and healing was when I realised that I did see it, but made excuses to explain it away, .. instead of facing the ...

<t>There are no children involved and that made it easy for me to do what I knew I had to, and that was get out and far away before my anger did turn into something ugly. I had always assumed that my sister would find me and beg forgiveness for her errors and we would start the mending process. But ...

So many kind people and wise words! Something greater than me lead me to this site......Thanks

<t>Serendipity, I understand the isolation that you refer to. I have always been a loner by choice, finding comfort in my own company. The peace I found within myself came from the security of knowing who I was and not needing other people to confirm it. The isolation that I feel now is different. I ...

Thank you so much for the kind words. I can't tell you how much they mean to me now. I'll definately read your suggested book, maybe it will give me some understanding.

<t>I understand your dark place, I am currently fighting with it myself. I have recently learned that my beloved little sister and my husband of 12 years are in love. In my blind hurt I left my home, job, and any life that I may have had. I now reside in a strange city all alone without a single ...
