[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705729, member: 18958"] Invisiblemother. There is so much you can do for yourself. 70 nowadays is middle age. Many of us have been traumatized. There is help. Even help you can do for yourself. There is a new approach of the last 20 years or so called somatic treatment of trauma. Any bilateral movement can help to discharge trauma. Animals do it. It is not a therapy or an approach that depends on words or an expert. Things like crafts, art, knitting, crochet, where you concentrate and use both hands, help. I see posting this way: you hold troubling feelings and thoughts in your mind when you type. In that way your brain changes. You can look on Amazon for books. One psychologist who deals with this approach is named Peter Levine. I have one of his books right here called: [U]Walking the Tiger[/U]. When I read the reviews of the books, people who have never been helped by therapy, begin to change. I am in my 60's too. While there are no guarantees I have hope that my life will change, that I will have time for a new phase or two. There are groups for people who have been traumatized. Depending upon where you live. I have seen Art Therapy groups for traumatized people. And even dance. There are recreational activities that are solitary, or nearly so, like fishing. That is one thing I have wanted to do for many years and still have on my list. Life has to be about more than our kids, at our age. Even so called normal kids move away, most of them. There is time for hope. Keep posting. That kids move away or decide to dislike us, or decide that their needs or priorities are different-does not have to define us. [/QUOTE]
