Your story hit me pretty hard. Unfortunately I can totally relate. Please give careful consideration to everything these excellent folks are saying.

Words of wisdom here - similar life situation but I'm 61 and have been replaced by some nasty little twit who is 16 yrs younger than me. So I am having to move. Begging you not to wait as long as I have to make a better life for yourself! Nothing, even being alone (which is great) is worth losing your self esteem or possibly sanity!
