Sorry this stuff continues to haunt you. I wish you could work with a therapist on an ongoing basis to conquer it.

There is NOTHING wrong with using fertility methods to have a child, noting wrong with donor eggs or sperm injection. You did your best. If anything is organically wrong with Danny, it is the luck of the draw, not a punishment or something you did.

As far as the rest of it, you have had a hard row to hoe, the loss of two siblings, your parents alcoholism and depression, an ex-spouse with serious emotional issues.

But through it all you have shown strength and goodness, you have a stable job, you are a great friend, you have a streak of optimism and loyalty and despite the hormones and the biochemical imbalances, you get up every day and do your best.

We're all getting older and coping with the losses of what the world worships, youth and youthful beauty (and as they say youth, is wasted on the young).

My wish for you today is that you would be easier on yourself. You are doing your best. You are being the best mom you know how to be (and it would not have been better to stay with A and be living in a home where the utilities are turned off and the rent isn't paid). You are being the best second wife you know how to be.

Bad stuff happened to you, but it wasn't your fault, it was just unfortunate. You have survived it and you have much to be proud of. I wish I could take the ache away for you. I wish I could wave a wand that says, put the past behind you and move forward and embrace the best of what life has ahead. It may not be perfect but it has it's good moments and maybe that is the most we can hope for.

Hang in there my friend. To better days ahead.

Hugs,

Liz
