Today I’m leaving this house and I’m going to be moving in on my own. I’ve been married for 30 years and it’s not worked out. We’re splitting up, getting divorced. I’m going to be living on my own with my dog and I’m very excited about it. I should’ve done it years ago.

I think with the menopause, I got in a bit of a haze. Then all of a sudden, I thought: Do you know what? I’m not happy. This is something I really want to do.

I want to be happy now. I feel good – I feel the best I’ve felt for years, really. I think this decision has been a long time coming.

Thinking about myself, I’d say that I have been through a lot in my life, a lot of ups and downs, and no matter what, it will pass, I will get through it.
