Withdrawn From Service

As ever, Susanne Fröhlich writes from life: What does a woman do when after 20 years of marriage, her husband leaves her? In her late forties, one adolescent child and a part-time job, but no plan B? Instead of nice little chats, the neighbourhood wives suddenly give her disapproving looks because her single status means she is a potential Venus Flytrap for well-behaved husbands. Only one thing helps: chin up, back straight - and learn to walk again. Fortunately, the species of “a really nice man” is not yet extinct, even for women in their late forties.
