Janet D.

I'm a 58 year old with a ton of life experience that I'm happy to share. Most people think I should write a book because my life has been interesting. I'm a good story teller when it comes to my upbringing in a cult like religious group, my performance in theater and my days as a singer in several lounge bands. I've been married (to a very narcissistic man who emotionally abused me and our children). I separated from him at the age of 52 and became a first time college student. Beside my children, my graduation in 2022 is one of my greatest achievements. I'm now remarried to a recovering drug addict/alcoholic veteran. With the help of friends and my therapist, I made sure this was a safe relationship before I committed. I even decided to remain abstinent until we married.(That's a story I am happy to share) I have been through countless hours of therapy to understand myself, my first marriage and my upbringing that left me a "People Pleaser" with no self esteem or understanding of my own value. I understand Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder. I've lived them. I understand depression and bipolar disorder. My current husband and daughter deal with one each. I am an intuitive, empathetic and loyal friend. I am the type of friend that is trust-worthy and will keep your confidence. I have built great friendships online in years past and worked as a moderator for two web sites, one a parenting web site and the other a health related web site. I look forward to meeting you and becoming your friend.
