You are worth doing it for yourself.

Yes of course it would impact gravely on small children who are attached to you. But really, you have to live for you. Not anyone else - it's not enough. Even if you are a mother yourself with little ones depending on you, clinging to life and enduring the days because you don't want to leave a hole in your kids' lives, it's not enough to live like that.

It's short-changing yourself, because you deserve a full life of your own, not just to be an extra in the background of somebody else's.

how are your horses, by the way?
