Re:

Very kind of you to think of me Troosha. I am a bit older than a lot of people who do this sort of thing. I honour my commitments, and it was an enormous shock to have this one slip away. He was supposed to be the future. I saw him the other day and I have to say he didn't look very happy or particularly well. I just get on with my work, it's something to focus on.

Re:

Thanks Troosha; I have a feeling it will be a lot easier to feel emancipated once the financial hearing goes ahead.

Re:

I know Taps - I just wanted my life to be settled and it has only got more and more complicated as the children have grown to adulthood and we are still all of us divided between countries. If only he has listened to me more. This is one reason I am publishing the other non-fiction (Daffodils in August). Moving around suits some people. It didn't suit me, not here anyway. I loved NC; I didn't want to come back here but I did. Meeting someone who made me happy seemed like compensation.

Re: mneme

Thanks Wiley - I recognise that this is a long and slow process. I just hadn't bargained on losing the person I thought was my future. Twice. Even now I still have moments of distress about the disappointments in the marriage itself.

I love Shakespeare's rain and sunshine at once. Tears can be cathartic; it heals, and there is a life beyond the hurting. It was probably Nietzsche who said, "Perhaps I know best why man is the only animal that laughs; he alone suffers so excruciatingly that he was compelled to invent laughter". So remember your tears are a precursor to laughter.

There is nothing wrong with cracking, and tears can wash away a multitude of stress. But, bits of healing should come after each time of tears. What Troosha said in her comment was a really good thing to think about.

Consider this though – you can remain a prisoner of the pain the men in your life have caused you or you can emancipate yourself. It’s not easy to let go of pain or painful memories yet we are the only one who can shape and define how our tomorrows will be. I feel for you, mneme. You are going through a difficult time and maybe the tears are a sign that you readying yourself for the next phase of your life. It’s scary and exciting all at the same time.
