[QUOTE="davejsy, post: 1230421, member: 111210"] I totally get this. It's the duration as well as the change of scenery, and perhaps perceived distance from the worries and stressors of home. I think the duration is especially important because this gives you some space from the thought that it is only temporary (at least until the home stretch!). And of course the Camino attracts a certain percentage of like minded people, who become more open as they walk which can help you feel less alone with the things that worry you at home - because we are all similar. At home the majority of people simply pretend they are ok as a way of coping. My Camino was the most free and ok I'd felt for a long time, but it does tend to taper off once home and back amongst the things that came before. But, I think this is where you then realise after the initial disappointment that this is just an ongoing Camino lesson, a lesson that it is naïve (certainly on my part) to expect to come back and carry on as normal but still be forever changed. I think probably the Camino is never done with you in that respect. [/QUOTE]
