I have felt a deep pang of fear that this is the journey that awaits me. I'm an extremely happy stay-at-home mother whose husband applauds her for everything she does today. But that's the point. It is scary to think that I might turn into a liability. You have put into words what so many go through. Another woman's battle, never to be experienced by a man.

Your words are truly touching. Every sentence was heavy with emotion and brutal honesty. You are a wonderful writer with fantaastic skills to put into words so many unexplored and difficult to process emotions. It is this awareness that will get you through it all and make you more resilient than ever. Keep going, and keep telling your stories, please.
