I was once told by a respected therapist to face reality and give up my white picket fence dreams. I wasn't actually seeking a husband, 2.5 kids and a white picket fence to keep it all together. I had a husband, a beautiful baby girl & a great job. But it was by far what I had always dreamed of and longed for....and who was she to tell me to give up on something I had waited 30 years to see to come to fruition. I wasn't expecting perfect...I knew better than that...but I didn't expect the loneliness, isolation, fear, constant disappointment and shear exhaustion that came along with what I thought was my dream.
