IT HAS TAKEN ME 24HRS ABOUT TO SURRENDER. I AM MARRIED WITH A 14 MONTH BABY AND I FIND THIS PART OF MY LIFE TO BE VERY CHALLANGING. WHEN I STARTED RECOVERY I WAS SINGLE AND A SINGLE PARENT OF A 7YR OLD, SO THIS IS A BRAND NEW CHAPTER. FOR ME RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE MOST CHALLANGING AND TO BE HONEST I AM AT A PLACE WHERE i DONT GIVE A HOOT I AM JUST GOING TO LET GO BECAUSE THE MORE I TRY AT RELATIONSHIPS THE MORE COMPLICATED IT GETS. I WANT TO RELAX, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON ISSUES SINCE BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED AND ITS BEEN INTENSE AND DRAMATIC TO SAY THE LEAST. I CAN VISION BALANCE FOR MY LIFE BUT ACCOMPLISHING BALANCE FOR ME IS NOT AS EASY AS I HAD HOPED FOR ESPECIALLY WITH THIS NEW BABY. MY HUSBAND AND I DO NOT HAVE INTIMATE FRIENDS TO HELP US WITH THIS BABY. THERE WAS A SHIP THAT HAPPEDED IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS SHORTLY AFTER I HAD THE BABY AND THOSE PAST FRIENDSHIPS DONT FIT WHERE WE ARE AT IN OUR LIVES TODAY. I SUPPOSE OUR SITUATION IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE ARE OLDER THAT MOST NEWLY MARRIED COUPLES WITH A NEW BABY MY HUSBAND IS 52 AND I AM 44. oR MAYBE THATS MY EXCUSE NOT TO GET OUT AND MINGLE WITH THESE YOUNGER MOMS AND DADS, BUT I HAVE TRIED, WELL MAYBE ITS TIMING.
