Not sure if this is the right place to post this or not but it seemed like a good place to start, so here I am.

Some background about me: I've led a challenging life. Both parents were alcoholics. My dad was abusive in every way and my mom just looked the other way. As a result, I've been on my own since I was 16. Bad things happen to 16-year-old girls who are out on their own. I'm sure there are some unresolved issues there.

I met my husband when we were both 18 and we've made a very good life for ourselves. After 35 years, we're still very much in love. We enjoy one anothers' company, we spend time together, we like each other as people.

All in all, my life these days is pretty darn good. My two daughters are the kind that every parent wishes for. Smart, witty, beautiful, caring.

Still, I just feel empty sometimes. I don't even know how to describe what I feel. How can I make this better if I don't even know how to talk about it?
