I needed to re-discover me, to find that part of me that wasn't defined by a long-term marriage.
That was me! I had to find out who I was before I had anything to offer anyone.
My thinking was very skewed right after my divorce. I thought that since I had been OK while attached to my husband, I would once again be OK if I found another man to attach myself to.
What I found out was that I had to be OK alone before I had anything to offer anyone else.
After examining who I had become because of my marriage I realized I was not stable nor grounded. I was a long way from OK. I had been fooling myself for years and the idea of living in denial instead of working on myself was attractive.
But, you know what they say about the road less traveled or taking the path of least resistance. Nothing good comes of it!
