Dear Nan:

Before reading your post above I was thinking about you, and about the part of your post before, worrying about your adult son’s reaction to you divorcing and moving in with the other man. I was wondering how worried you are about his reaction, how old he is… seems well adjusted to life from what you shared…

And then to you last post, “waiting for the day to be released from the fake life I am currently living”- this is a powerful sentence! Notice the passive verb form: “to be released”- who is to do the releasing?

This sentence makes me want to scream (like at the screen during that scene in The Bridges of Madison County”) – Do it! Do it, Nan: release yourself from the fake life you are currently living!
