Sept, I left my marriage at 48....a lot of my best years, I thought, were behind me. well......my blood pressure went from 150/90 to 120/70.....I only regretted that I had not left sooner...I am admitting that it was a horrible, scary time in my life. I was driving the rental truck, Tippy, sitting beside me, and bawling. I actually bawled for four hours and then I got mad!!!!!!!!! And I do mean MAD...that was the turning point. I'm here and so are tons of others to listen and support you........pat
