No probs Anita,

I appreciate you taking the time to reply always.

My parents not divorced, but live separately 50% of the time, this has only happened in the last 5-10 years since I’m an adult.

My childhood was good, I had a good bunch of friends and did ok at school/uni.

At home we were ok. My dad worked in London and had a stressful job. He and my Mum had a strained relationship and would often fight. As a child, I hated conflict and would often be worried of what/when the next fight would be. They would be sometimes become very heated, sometimes violent. I would try and appease the situation if I could. They had a lot of deeper issues, including a daughter who was given up for adoption that is never spoke about and I’ve never met.

I’ve always been naturally a quite quiet/shy person until I get to know someone and come out of my shell.

My situation is now that I’m engaged and very happy at home with my partner and dog.

We have a good life. As you know, I changed job a few months back and it’s not going well as I hoped. They haven’t told me it’s not going well but I don’t feel like I’m doing well. I am not enjoying it and have never been someone who changes job lots.

I feel stuck as I get paid well it’s not hard to find a new job but I also feel unfulfilled and don’t want to be like this.
