Heidi , it is never too late to start your journey. We had a Dentist and an MD in our law school class. They must have been mid 50’s. We also had a lady in her early teens 60’s who was in my class with her son.

Starting is the hardest thing. You could probably CLEP 50% or more of a bachelors degree. My undergrad was a non- traditional student body. So if you’re serious you have a good chance of success.

As far as your personal life goes I can tell you it gives you a good deal of material for a autobiography or possibly a novel. But you want more and possibly some answers. I want you to get that.

I myself do not believe in the patriarchy whether it be in lives or our religious beliefs. A matriarchy maybe but not a male supreme being for sure. My two cents.

Sigh… I am really glad you have arrived in my world. Even all these years later. I so appreciate your encouragement, your insight, and especially when you share things that challenge.

Definitely something to think about. Although a novel? I don’t know if I’m bent that way. 😂😂

Just think if you create characters that suffer the way you did. It can lessen your anxiety. One of my favorite authors dropped out of high school to join the marines. He fought in the Pacific in WWII. He wrote Battlecry then Mila 18. He also wrote Exodus and Trinity. You probably read his works. Leon Uris.
