Dear (((Cat)))! Do you think that the fear of retiring is because you will lose your professional identity? Who will you be after you retire? A mother, a wife, a friend, and what else??? Working does provide a certain level of socialization. As negative as this sounds, you may have to give up your dream of your husband becoming a recovering alcoholic, as he is the only one that can stop drinking. I don’t say this to be mean and you know me better than that! I will be in your city as my daughter, 2 little granddaughters and I are flying in on July 3rd and will fly out on 6th, so hopefully we can get together for a bite to eat and a chin wag! Carole
