About Me
Divorced with one 23 yr. old son. Passion for traveling and exploration of all life has to offer. Not much into sports other than water related i.e. boating, kayaking, diving, sailing, beach, blessed by living on the ocean to enjoy those activities and enjoy the free therapy of listening to the sound of the surf. Winding down my career and trying to figure out what is next. A true Aquarian, my mantra; "live and let live." Currently a member of the "Sandwich Generation", taking care of my son whose Biological Mother abandoned at 15 and my 80 yr. old Mother who finaly got divorced a year ago after 55+ yeras of physical, mental, and verbal abuse. One goal is to balance their needs with my needs, finding it hard at times.
Interests
Traveling, water related activities (all). Finding great restaurants that locals frequent where ever I travel to, avoiding the franchised ones. Movies, prefer up lifting, happy ending ones. Good conversation where if opposing views are present one can still explore the topic(s) with out hostility.Positive people who see the glass half full. Exploring, exploring, exploring.

Close Family Issues
Taking care of my son's needs whose Mother abandoned him and has caused issues and my 80 yr. old Mother who recently divorced after 55+ years of "abuse". Spend most of the time with their issues yet I'd like to develope a life of my own.
Treatments
- Music Working / Worked
- For me it works wonders, when feeling overwhelmed select a C.D. i.e. Lara Fabian, sit on my balcony looking at the ocean and it has a very therapeutic effect 90% of the time.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Works since I do not have a partner to share and vent to.
Close Breakups & Divorce
Partner remained in the relationship only to be put through school and save $$$. When these goals were accomplished and new boyfriend firmly in place, the relationship was terminated. Four years of great acting which creates problems for those that follow.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Not Working
Open Caregivers
Taking care of my 80 yr. old Mother. Divorced at 79, was 100% dependent on her Husband for everything. Very hard to continue that role, would like to modify. Nursing home(s) are not an option.
