What you have to realize about human nature is that it somewhat perverse. You worked in the police force and were exposed to the most challenging situations people can face in their lives. Further, you worked dealing with psychopaths in some cases. Dealing with a psychopath is extremely challenging because Early on they can be somewhat engaging but overtime they will do everything they can to take advantage of you. We have a great example in the US name Trump. One other thing I might mention. For PTSD you might consider an approach they are now using in the US with a number of issues, including depression and anxiety. It is electric brain stimulation. I am sure you are also aware of cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. They provide a tool kit for dealing with the challenges of many different issues. PS I am a retired. Clinical psychologist with over 50 years experience.

Hahahaha! There's a huge joke about the price of cauliflower on the ex-pats Facebook groups. I like JP Chenet red too. I think we spend about the same on our grocery shopping as we did in the UK, but we now have the time to cook fresh from scratch every day and I rarely throw food away. So no costly takeaways and ready meals. I don't mind paying a bit more for meat as we buy direct from farmers. The supermarket chicken in France has much more flavour, I think, than the horrible white, flabby, no flavour cheap chicken. We have learned to shop around and find deals. Construction materials are costly. I have bought clothes in France but I usually buy online from M&S France or Next France, or wait until I'm in UK. Sizes are small in France. I am also trying to wear out my old clothes. What's this "rot off"? Is that a northern saying? 😅

Not one to Bost but being a 6 times home owner its a nightmare.. I will be submitting my tax soon. Any Notare records always help at the tax office.
