A reader responds to Jade Angeles Fitton’s article about finding self-confidence after a relationship breakdown, and taking pleasure in nature
Re Jade Angeles Fitton’s article (A moment that changed me: my partner drove off and left me – and in solitude I found my self-confidence, 27 March), if I bothered to count up the time I have spent alone, it would likely be more than in a relationship.
My first ended two years too late; we ate away at each other’s self-esteem until I left. Years followed during which my body clock was ticking, and I yearned for a family to call my own. When it finally came, that was no easy journey with a man 10 years younger than myself and unsure of parenthood, but determined to stay with me.
