I am 60 years old and met my husband when I was 18. He left me for a younger woman. I am still pretty, slim, quiet ok...but devastated. I have 3 children and 2 grandchildren none of them want to speak to their father. He has shat on us all. Very broken, tried and sad.

How do I get over this?

I have started to take anti depressants.

My sister died in March ( with no proper goodbye due to covid).. ten years yonger than me. I can't stand it. My mum was murdered brutally when i was 21 .

I am screaming and need help.yýñ

How do I continue?

One step at a time, myself I was 54 when my husband left me, but funny enough my kids still supported him. I started going out with friends from work. I went to live with one temporarily. It helped to be somewhere different, then I took the bull by the horns. I went online and met my husband. I was very broken and lonely, but now 16 years later I am happily married to the kindest man. He treats me like a Queen. All my friends are envious of how he looks after me.

Dearest Nina, you are 60 years young with grown children and an ex. How about making this your time to do all the things you wanted to but

were busy being a mom, wife and grandma.

Life isn't about age as much as it is in having goals and pursuing our dreams.

Just because your husband made a mistake doesn't mean you have to sit and

let your life go by. Start slowly in finding things you would like to do and go

after that dream. Who knows what life experiences and joy you will get.

The antidepressants may help in taking that first step forward.

I am truly sorry about the losses in your life. Now it's time for Nina to live and laugh

once again. I'm glad you are here with us. :) xx
