Can grown-ups, grow up too?

Question

I'm 47, wife, mom of three, nice home, a good life for the most part. Thing is I'm tired of being who I felt I was suppose to be all my life. I want to start telling the truth about life. I want to curse when I'm angry ( saying the F word in my house, my parents house, has always been a huge no-no). When people piss me off I want to tell them so without keeping all my feelings in and being sweet and tactful. When someone makes me happy, I just want to lay a hug and kiss on them instead of thinking about it and wondering if they would mind...etc.
I want to shake off all the niceties, all the rules and just be. I'd still be me--I'd still be a good person, just honest to myself and others. Thing is would my family and friends freak out? Would they think I was losing it? Recently when I yelled out a "F*ck!" because I stubbed my toe, etc...my family gets very weird and talk about how mom said the F word. (my youngest is 14-oldest 21-all at home)
Can't grown-ups grow up too?

Answer 1

YEP!!! And its about time, just settledown now your making the right, mature choose here. Just its time to talk with the family about this before they see your change. Acutal its time to talk to everyone about it. Your moving to a point in your life were your realize you've spent to much time basing your life around everyone else's needs and wants. This could be (its personal to all of us) because you didn't think you deserved it or you didn't think you had it in you. Your starting to love yourself in other words and realize that your feels are diffent right and valide. Just don't let this change go without talking to everyone about, keep opening yourself up espacially to your family and they'll get use to the new happier mom! Besides the childern need that in there own lives, they need that kind of attitude... and there contangious! So yea, spread the light, its why I'm on here myself!
