Losing my leg has destroyed my self-confidence – I feel like a freak
DEAR DEIDRE: LOSING my leg has destroyed my self-confidence and I’m worried I’ll never find love again.
I had to have my right leg amputated after a motorbike accident last year. Now I have a prosthetic leg and I feel like a freak.
What decent man would want a one-legged 35-year-old woman when there are so many beautiful and able-bodied girls?
I find it hard to go out and about now, and I hated dating sites even before my accident, so meeting men is nigh impossible.

I had a fiancé before my accident but he couldn’t cope, and left me.
My friends say I’m fun, kind and good-looking but should I just resign myself to my fate?

DEIDRE SAYS: You’ve been through a traumatic experience, made worse by your ex-fiancé.
But please don’t give up on love. Plenty of men will see beyond your missing leg.
The best relationships are based on friendship, so try to widen your social circle and get involved in activities that interest you.
