just picked up on this conversation and thought I would say hi to all the fellow crone dreaders - I have just started my dread journey and I am in my forties - my kids have gotten used to mom being a bit nuts but I think this one is taking more than its usual time for my partner to understand but I say tough to him - I feel I have dedicated most of my life to him and the kids - they are all young adults now and I started having then at 21 - so I think its time for me to be me now instead of just wife and mother and employee - I am on a new journey to find me and dreading is the beginning of this journey!
