Over the past 4 years, I have put an emotional brick wall up. I hadn't realised it until comparatively recently, but it is there. I think it's because I have had to be very single minded with what I do for my BA. Plus, the past 2 years have been an absolute rollercoaster ride. I think Hubby's illness earlier this year just cemented the lot in. It is there for a reason - to protect myself and just keep soldiering on. Right now, I cannot afford for the wall to be 'down' - it serves me.
It saves me...
