No one told me that, as I got older, the cumulative effect of all these difficult things was going to sort of pile up and become something hard to grasp with. It has. We may have some lessons learned or wisdom or whatever, but the difficult, painful things sometimes add up. I find that his takes a toll and I have to work my butt off not to be in a place of bitterness sometimes. Not proud of that, but it is most certainly the truth.

Glad you are looking at talking to someone about all this. I have no doubt that will help you. Hang in there. You've come this far. You can make it to the finish line.
