I am a post-menopausal divorced female. I am a confirmed renter. I am a psychotherapist and an artist. I like animals in general, but I only live with cats. I am now sharing my home with my frail, elderly mother. We get along very well and always have, but having to care for her is a big deal to me. I didn't plan to spend this part of my life taking care of anybody but my clients, and strict boundaries of time & space, plus a (modest) paycheck come with that. I am an urban person. I live in a very large city, and I love it! I've tried small town/rural and smaller city life, briefly, and I hated it. I am an introvert, but function very well socially. I am good at addressing large groups & have no stage fright, but I need a lot of quiet, alone time. I have one child, a grown daughter who is beautiful, intelligent, creative, self-supporting, and emotionally healthy. This is the best thing I have done with my life:pick a suitable partner & raise a child who turned out well, who understands how to be happy and productive/creative. I have a good wit/ sense of humor, but I am a fairly serious sort of person. I don't enjoy parties unless they consist mostly of people I've known for years. I love 1:1 conversations, but only if they are very deep...or very silly.
