[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm about to turn 54 and I suddenly feel very sad.  My dh is at the end of the bed doing push ups and Dumbbells.   He's lost weight such that his wedding band keeps flying off.  I on the other hand have all sorts of health issues, keep gaining weight, have abandoned exercise (Heath concerns have interfered), am addicted to refined carbs and weigh 30 lbs too much.   We have an adopted special needs child who is a lot of work although she's a sweet child.   My parents are both deceased.  My work is low pay and deadend.  I have a few masters degrees. I don't have solid friendships   They are more surface relationships.  I'm in therapy.  His and and I are in therapy.  Feeling stuck.  No family.  Any advice from anyone whose been here? I know changing my diet and focusing on my we'll be my would help.  Was supposed to celebrate tomorrow w dinner and a comedy club.  Sitter just cancelled due to death in the family. Subs aren't available.     Deep sigh.   Thanks. [/quote]
You do not have enough to do. I bet if your husband has stage 4 cancer, you'd wish for what you have now.[/quote]

OP here.  You have gall.  Just because I did not go into the details of my dear child's constant life-threatening life-limiting illness does not mean I don't have a right to share here.  If you have a family member who has stage 4 cancer and you need support I encourage you to do so.  But, please don't try to down or shame me here.  Thanks.  [/quote]
