Oh yeah, I almost forgot.... I met with a financial counselor the other day with the Financial Readiness Program here on Post. Plus, I met with someone in the Employment Readiness Program (I just realized that a lot of programs here have "readiness" in the title. lol) Got a lot of great advice and came up with some game plans. I really felt empowered and "armed" when I left.
This is how I'm looking at things: I have to live with ME forever. I need to make necessary improvements as a work in progress. I used to make changes based on what would help the marriage but now my focus is on making changes that are lasting and make me a better person and mother. If, in the process, the marriage is salvaged and becomes healthy and lasting, well that's just a fringe benefit, not the goal.
