Something I am learning during my mid-fifties is to finally speak my mind and stand up for myself without worrying what others will say or think. Keeping quiet for so many years have taken a huge toll on my mental and physical health not to mention my emotional health too. Suppressing emotions that should have been expressed was very frightening for me. To all the married women and even men who are afraid to speak up, pls start doing so. We are not meant to be controlled or manipulated.
