Hi SarahK,

The first thing I thought when I read your post was that I hope you tell yourself that you are just lovely and perfect the way you are right now. You don't have to improve or fix or be less in any area. Nothing defines you, certainly not a period of depression.

I have just met someone after my husband left me. I love my husband and always will but he always had a problem with me or himself or the world or with our kids. The new guy I met is gentle and leaves room for me to feel and to be who ever I want to be. Take care of yourself.
