"Early in our marriage, my husband decided he wanted to attend graduate school in another state. At the time, we owned a home. We had purchased it with a federally subsidized loan that stipulated that this home had to be our primary residence. Since we were leaving the state, that meant we had to sell.

Some are harder for me to get a handle on, or I may have to overcome some fears or limitations within myself.

"I sat on the floor of my kitchen. Tears soaked the white, fuzzy collar of my pink flannel robe. It was more than I could handle. As I write this, I can"t honestly remember what I thought had caused the breakdown but the truth is that it was a combination of hormones, depression and grief. It had collided into a bomb of self-pity and a belief that I couldn't overcome the day. I messaged a friend and waxed poetically about the state I was in.
