[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 701738, member: 20487"] Good posts!! So, in response to the challenge to share ideas of what I would like to do with the rest of my life: I still hope to have some family connection although most of it has been removed due to the drama in my children's life. Here's where I go wrong on this one: I imagine having a get together either for Christmas or some other reason and in the past have provided big elaborate meals, that cost a lot of money and time only to have them either show up late or sometimes not at all, and then eat and rush out to do whatever they want leaving me dishes and a bad attitude. So, I am hoping to at least keep in contact with both children no matter where they are or how they live. Then, I would like to take some trips, not big but just around the country side seeing friends for brief visits once in a while. Also, I hope to get my house sold and move in with my long time boyfriend, which would be good because we enjoy similar life styles. I can then cook more which I love to do, and also enjoy living out side a city, which I now live in. I love my house but over time have stopped liking the neighborhood I live in. I would like to volunteer for some worthy organization or cause. I also have interests in politics but not to run for office (what a mess!!). But as a social concern to help changes happen that need to get done. Them, I would like time to do more reading, gardening and practice on my guitar without getting horrible calls that either a child died, is in jail or homeless or caused a meth fire. That is very distracting and it takes so much of your focus off reading and playing music that you cannot even do it well. But I have a long way to go before I can see myself in that picture, I am working on it slowly, painting the inside of the house, fixing things and also putting people on alert that I plan to change my life. I am open to suggestions that will help me get to the point where I can walk away from my current life and begin to live in the life I rather would be in. I feel in some ways that I am walking away from all I have ever known and it feels like grieving. [/QUOTE]
