Thank you for reading, Rebecca! Chronic pain and mental health issues are a lot to handle, but I'm glad we both have supportive men in our lives, helping us through the hurdles. :)

Thank you. I'm sharing this with my husband. He really is my hero. Other than the fact that we don't have kids, and that he's not Mediterranean, this sounds so familiar.

This spoke to me, in so many familiar volumes. I had to respond! A few exceptions, I have 2 children by other men & they were being cared for by other people, who I entrusted them to, so I could seek help. Those instances caused my now adult children to harbor deep seeded feelings of neglect and abandonment, unfortunately. I pray they each overcome those obstacles.

With PMDD and the after effects of a implanted mesh device, botched surgery and two removal surgeries, then chronic pain, I’ve recently met a guy who blows me away with his kindness. This blog made me cry in a good way. I’m really happy for you and all of us who have that saving grace.
