This is a new forum for me. I am very pleased at the responses people have given others and appreciate the humanity in all of this work being done prompted by the good for the human spirit.
I am in a very deep quandry about where I belong in life. I came to Canada from the US when I was a boy. I have no genetic ties to this country other than common indiginous roots to First Nations. I married a girl who was local, we were together for 16 years. We were very close, but we had no children. We ent through a very tramatic situation on a reserve up north. We came back to the general area. She went home to visit family and found employment. I stayed in an area that was a border town between Canada and the U.S. on the New Brunswick side. My mother had passed. I had to clear up her estate. I ended up buying a home near my wife's family on the ocean.
My wife and I are both teachers. She met someone else and we were divorced. No one has bothered to tell me what really happened. I feel like there is deception all around me. I am not sure if common friends are telling me the truth about the woman whom I thought was the love of my life.
I have returned to the place where I used to live and I called home. I find myself feeling a stranger here. This is also the same area my former wife considered home.
In my heart I feel lost, without direction. I do have a nice home here and I wonder if I should remain and seek full time employment as a teacher. Although I do feel there is some unclear un finishished business with my wife. I try to keep the lines of communication open.
The truth I seek is whether the spirit is seeking me to stay and remain and acknowledge this as home? Will a career blossom and take root? Will my partner return? It was wrong for me to have thought a trial seperation would be a good thing. This was the only place I could think of that I could call home. I have an elderly sister who depends upon me. I have done what I thought was always the right thing. The anxiety of the unknown, and the feeling of second guessing myself through out all things that led to these feelings of being lost cloud my vission for my next step whether to stay or leave.
