I don't think I can shake this one ladies/gentlemen.
YES YOU CAN! What is the alternative? Dar do you want your daughter to grow up being a confident self assured and capable young lady-living life to her full potential?
I take it the answer is a resounding YES well then be the mother that shows her the way. Starting now.
One thing I did that helped me let go was Get a box and put in it all the reminders of the life I used to have, my marriage to a loving and caring man. Photo,s gifts letters etc. I also wrote a letter saying why I could no longer give these items room in my life because I was starting a new life as ME. I wrapped it in a black ribbon(I tend to do dramatic) I lit a candle and I said some prayers-that I was grateful for my marriage that I loved my h and my children but I knew that GOD did not make rubbish, nor did He give me a life to waste on self pity and unhappiness. So I was taking my love and placing it in the past. That day I vowed to live my life as best I could to the glory of God and to be the mother my children deserved and needed. I refused to fall back into old ways.
IT was hard work Dar but I did it you can too. You may not be as dramatic as me but I think the ceremony helped. The box is in my loft, untouched and not thought about for years-until now. Make your stand Dar.You have no husband, you have a person in your life that causes you untold grief and pain and wasted days months and years of your life. You are a relatively young woman their is so much more for you out there. Think about going and doing something for those who have no choice/less fortunate. It doesn't have to be a big commitment but you will ge far more back than you give. I got to go and do some work now. Take care.
