[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688226, member: 18958"] I have a SO of almost 7 years. I am ready to get social security and I never had somebody in my life to count on like I count on him. My parents, I could not count on. I was alone my whole life until I adopted my son. I feel the same about M. If he were to leave or die. Some people say I would find somebody else. I am not sure. I never did before. Maybe I have changed. I have to be positive. But even though I lived my whole life alone, I am no longer that same person. Having somebody to depend on, who needs you, too--qualitatively changes a person, and a life. So, I know how you feel. The upside of this is the thrill and the joy to add it all back in again. And new things too. Yes. I am impatient with myself at how slowly I am coming back. And I too fear that I will never come back like I was. Me too. I am wondering if this is a state of mind. Not a fact. Nobody did me, either. But I did this for myself. You can learn to be this good parent to yourself. But perhaps a better one. A wiser one. A kinder and more compassionate person. Appreciative. Grateful. Present. Loving. Devoted. [/QUOTE]
