@DownMoreThanUp yes, depression does make us rethink our view of self. And like you my upbringing also contributed, I mustn't be lovable if my own dad can leave and have a family with someone else and forget about me. Relationships with men just like him, I had 3 significant relationships and all 3 men cheated on me and the last one especially was particularly cruel in his assessment of me - he as good as said that I was too fat for him to love and that it was my fault he lost interest.

There have been very few males in my life that were kind to me and I thought it was my fault.

The hardest part is that you can have several "good" days and one bad day, a memory of past hurts will pop up uninvited and you start to feel unlovable again.

No matter how much I know I am loved by those who care, I still have days where I feel worthless. Thank God that when this life ends, we will have a loving Father who never leaves or forsakes us.

@Taali I did enjoy the winery! I also went to the Barossa and tried all the well known wineries there. I used to have a friend who lived in Hawthorndene and we did McLaren Vale a couple of times too.

The Swan Valley is known for its wineries and I have tried most of them at one time or other. Plenty of restaurants and a few breweries as well as a distillery, something for all tastes.

Well I'm off to the battlefield, sometimes called a bedroom !
