Changes in life - A support system for the over 35’s

So who do you think you are anyway?

Flor

I am a forty-something mother of three wonderful boys. Born in Peru, I have lived in Spain and Gibraltar but have made the United Kingdom my home for the past thirteen years and it was here that I met my husband.

I have worked in a variety of roles from full time IT to part time managerial positions, here and abroad as well as keeping a home. I am not unfamiliar with stress as a result! I have been through a variety of health related problems including depression, asthma, bronchitis, high cholesterol and uterine fibroids.

In many cases although I have a circle of friends, it was often difficult to talk openly about private matters. Even when I felt that I could, I would often find that none of my friends or colleagues had gone through what I was experiencing or found it hard themselves to speak about it. It was the desire to share my experiences that led to the creation of this site. I hope that within it you find the help you need at the time you most need it.

Another of my strengths is the breadth of experience I have coming into a foreign culture where the language was not my own. I know how difficult the adjustment can be. Not just the weather of course, but being far away from my family and my country of origin with no-one to turn to. A crippling sense of isolation that is hard to come to terms with.

Perhaps you are approaching the same thing from an opposite point of view and are an ex-pat, in Spain or Italy for example. Again, this board and the community it represents can be beneficial. If you have any questions, please drop me a line on the email address listed below.
