I am 20 years ahead of you and can attest that almost all women go through some sort of mid-life identity crisis around 40. And too often they just walk away from kids and husbands thinking that is the fix. It almost never is. I'm glad you, and other young women like you, are willing to go public with your experiences so that others can understand that it's not happening only to them. Glad to "see" you being kind to yourself and getting your sense of balance and fun back. Love the cartoon post! It's never the right house but it's the one that sustains us in the end.

I wnet through mine at age 39, with the help of a therapist filed for divorce ( I had totally lost my sense of me in that marriage) went back to school to become a Life Coach, quit a secure job and started my own business. Following my heart took so much courage...but it was so worth it and I also came back to life! There are still those days that are tough, and knowing that others go through them helps. You are absolutely right about be gentle with ourselves!!! Thanks for sharing something so important ! Jane KC,

WOW! I thank you for sharing what was/is happening in your life. Most women would not have done this and I commend you. Women for some reason try to be a "super Mom" at home, or in the workplace they try to break that "glass ceiling". Why and at what cost? We need not have the feeling that we need to compete but instead to do the best that we can without loosing our self in the process. Maybe your post will open the eyes of those women who are running this type of race. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. Sherry KC, what a honest post. WOW!
