Great post UN. It made me cry.

Or will UN renounce his globe-trotting “problem-solving” career and settle down as an insurance clerk in Surbiton?

Not sure a leopard can change its spots that easily.

Perhaps UN himself doesn’t yet know the answer to these questions…?

ME - Thank you for your comment. MIL has turned out to be a real diamond and has made me see what good people are about. Some people have emailed me saying she is domineering, but she isn’t really. Well maybe a bit, but maybe I need it.

DL - I can fully understand your comment. No offence taken and please feel free to air your thoughts. I air mine.

How can life have two sides that are totally different? I suppose it all comes down to balance - ying and yang if you like.

Life dealt me a kick in the nuts and I have had to get on and deal with it. Not very well at times, but it has taught me to try to see things from both sides.

I think MIL was right, in that I have had a sort of death wish. I known that now and through chance am regaining the balance.

However as they used to say on an old TV programme. The stories are true but the names and places are changed from time to time to protect the innocent. I hope you will keep coming back and commenting.

Thanks ever so much for your comment.

PLEASE DON’T TAKE THIS AMISS, but…

…you’re something of an enigma!

Can so much sensational stuff really be happening in one person’s life?

We see so many blogs which are clearly the product of a fertile imagination. In your case I just don’t know. If someone were setting out to create a work of fiction, I’m not sure that they would come up with the episodes which you’ve kept us enthralled with over the last few weeks (and probably previously as well – as a relative newcomer I can’t comment).

But if it’s all true, how can your life be so totally different to that of everyone else I’ve come across, in both your personal life and your work? The one is really very moving, and the other is really quite scary. My life certainly has its ups and downs, but it’s completely humdrum compared with yours.

I suppose at the end of day it doesn’t really matter. I – and your other readers – keep coming back just because it’s a really compelling read. So hats off to you for that!

Utterly beautiful.

In the words of a wise and wonderful woman,
“Stop trying to kill yourself fighting other peoples battles and wars. You have a chance here to live and love again with a beautiful kind young woman… do something about it before you fuck it up.”
