Don't worry about "being successful." You've got company. I never made it, either. I never will. If something happens to my husband, I'll be pushing a shopping cart on the street and smelling like old socks. The bad thing is that you "have something" to offer. I never did, and I knew it from the age of 5. My husband STILL thinks I could have gotten some office-type job on post. Is he SERIOUS???? I wouldn't have lasted one week!!! I just don't KNOW any of that stuff!!! I'm just here because God's the only one who can blow the final whistle. You've been through hell, and I HATE that for you!!! I admire you for keeping busy and for your fantastic creativity. I've shut down. Hey, you've WAY surpassed most depressed people. I have a clinically (untreated) friend who cannot hold a job and is also given plenty of well-meaning--???--but STUPID advice, just like you were. Jobs and husbands DON'T just float around in space. God bless you, Shannon. I'm thinking and praying for you. I'm happy when anything goes well, and I cry when you're down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
