I loved this post, Ciel. Beautifully written and eloquent in emotion. Have you seen "It's Complicated?" - I felt as if I were reading the background for the screenplay. If you haven't seen it, you should. If only for the many hilarious moments!! Mal

I read the whole thing twice before I even thought about commenting. There is so much here. Some of it is familiar to me, having had to work through similar situations. Much of it is filled growing experiences and situations. Have a wonderful Christmas time.

That was very powerful and moving. It takes a lot of strength to start afresh after so many years. Even a less than perfect marriage can anchor you. Your account reminded me of my own far from idyllic marriage. Good luck to you, whatever you decide.

Kabu, Troosha, Tzippy, Rector--
It brought tears to my eyes to read your comments, to be reminded again that I am not alone in all this.
I write out such things because I know I am not the only one, that many people have parallel circumstances, and that if nothing else, it may help them to know they are also not alone in it.
But also, I write reaching out for the touch of a hand, an acknowledgement... Some days I feel very much alone with all the choices, the obstacles, the opportunities from which I must choose one... the fears around choosing poorly.. or mistaking a roadblock for an opening... Sometimes I just want to curl up under a protective wing and sleep until spring. But that is not one of my opportunities.

I love the suspender concept.and although I am screaming advice
in my head, I know the decisions must be yours. Good luck and just maybe the Christmas time will help you to come to some beginning or end.

Keep stretching those suspenders. What I read in this post is that there will be no need for a pocket knife or nail clippers - sounds like they are about the give way on their own.

Ciel, this is an amazing post. Thank you so much for sharing with us that which is at the centre of your being. You are much in my thoughts and prayers as you reach your decisions and new way - for even if the suspenders pull you back, it will still be a new way. Lots of love, my friend.
