It's important we have our own identities, especially if our main focus is the rest of our family and you have previously been used to an independent and successful life. Your husband fell in love with Ms P and your children deserve to know that person.

(Vocals, only vocals, please!) How very thrillimg - for you, for all of us!<br /><br />I never minded my married name; liked it a lot in fact, esp as it was so much easier than the 'maiden' name I shed (and I never truly thought about the full connotation of that term before - how beyond-antiquated!) But I certainly have grown into a different person than the one during my (so disliked) working years. And - with the clearer mind of the past 10+ months, I see changes in myself, including my much more positive outlook.....it's quite thrilling to still see yourself 'becoming something else' at this stage of life.

I did the same. When I moved to London from LA I gave up my career to follow my the finance, got married, and set down roots. I lost a big part of myself in the move and struggled to figure out who I was at the time. I drank to fill the hollow feeling of not knowing my own opinions and what I wanted. Wonderful post and congrats on the contracts.

I think that is where you find your best self for writing, because that girl was hopeful and happy and had not yet taken a high-dive into a pool of wine. It feels like you're rediscovering your joy for life and creativity at the same time.<br />I am doing so as well and still have not yet bonded with my last name of five years. It makes it awkward to monogram things, because I don't recognize the initials. Also, my new last name is alarmingly like my ex-married last name, so I sometimes say the wrong one. It makes me feel really clueless when people ask me my name and I have to hesitate while I try to remember what my name actually is. ; )Finding a Sober Miraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269753460064037075noreply@blogger.com
