About Me
Divorce was final in Sept 06. I have a son who is 21 and a daughter that is 19. I work for the Dept. of Social Services and have a passion for protecting children and enabling them to have the best possible future. I am very family-oriented. I enjoy camping, photographing nature, bird watching, and hiking. I also enjoy staying at home, cooking, reading, playing games, and quilting. I'm trying to move forward, and not dwell on the past.

Close Breakups & Divorce
After 23 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced. Our marriage started going downhill when our daughter became depressed & suicidal, and my mother got Alzheimers and was very demanding. During these years I was so emotionally spent that I didn't have much left for my husband. In a nutshell, while I was going through all this he built a new life, and when things calmed down for me, he no longer wanted to be married to me. I'm trying to move forward with my life now.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- At least it cleared up the mixed messages that my husband was sending me.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Without my family and a few close friends, I'm not sure how I would have made it this far.
Close Caregivers
I have a 19 year old daughter with Major Depression and Social Anxiety Disorder living with me. My 95 year old father lives in assisted living near me, and I am the only child on the west coast. I cared for my mom through Alzheimers until her death a couple of years ago. I know the stress of this caregiving lead to my divorce after 23 years of marriage.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I often send a prayer to the Lord for guidance which often works. I also read the Serenity Prayer often to ground me.
Open Shyness
People think I'm outgoing, but in reality I'm not comfortable in most social situations. It is very hard for me to make friends. I'm recently divorced and need to expand my social circle, but am finding it very hard.
