I know about many of the things you mentioned. Last Sunday was my brithday as well as Mother's Day. I have 3 adult children and didn't hear from any of them. I know they don't know a lot of my story and I tried to protect them from it when they were young. As they got older they didn't want to know.
Bullying is something that just seems to be on the rise in every field of life. I have often been bullied for being 'clever' (in school a long time ago, by my husband and in the workforce) and for being fat (since very early childhood to now).
I was given a new name to contact about a rental and after a few phone calls to get the right person, she is going to see me tomorrow morning. Hopefully, this might be a possibility. It is a the top of my affordability range, but there does seem to be a lot of work available here. As long as I stay well, I will be right.
I do want to live. I missed so much of life over the years that i am looking forward to discovering what is out there. My senses are just waiting to get out there and experience life as me. Not someone's unwanted child, unwanted wife, unwanted mother, dying patient, crazy women - just me. 57 years old, short, very round, sensitive, creative, musical, artistic, hungry for knowedge and experiences, caring and with a smile that still gets good reviews. I want to love and be loved.
