[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, I had it all, and did it all. [/quote] I think this is the problem. You have had no prior experiences with disappointment or having to change things up in the past. As a result, you never built up the skill set, life experience and or had the life resets that many of us have. My life plans changed considerably after my children were born and we discovered that they had special needs. As a result, my expectations of the future changed - mainly that you can’t really plan life. Life happens and you deal with what you have to deal. I do think that seeing a therapist might help you learn how to mourn the life that will not be, learn to appreciate the fantastic family life that you experienced (that many never get to do) and to learn how to become more resilient when life hands you something different than expected.
