I think you are right about pain becoming part of our identity!
You say you want to live your life so you are moving into an independent facility.
You also say it is your choice.
Is it really?
You sound as if you are doing it to give your children the time they need on their own.
I wonder, does that mean you are REALLY happy to be going or do you feel foreced to move because of your kids?
Food for thought.
Of course you family will love you until you die.
I would hope that is true for all of us (although I know it isn't).
Good luck with your move and I hope you find what you are looking for.
Ronnie

Hi @grandmar! I sure like your attitude- it’s great! I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts! They make me feel better! I have fibro, RA, diabetes, and recently discovered heart failure. Reading about others takes the isolation away. I’m isolated. I live with my brother and he’s not one to talk about feelings or illnesses. So when I feel bad, I keep quiet. I literally have no extended family that cares at all, and I just had to move away from my wonderful friends and church. I can’t drive right now, so I have no way to get to church. I fight hard to not fall down into the abyss. I hope you are ok as well as all my Connect angels. Karen
