i hate to say this, but i feel like because i dont have any kids, its harder to get the WAS back. i dont mean to be negative, but ive noticed that most of the success stories that i've read involve children.


Wrong. There are many success stories of those without kids because they are able to truly separate, GAL, get their sh*t together and they are not forced to manage/argue over matters involving the kids.

Without children, I would have embraced this separation and poured my energy into me. Having kids in the middle injects a level of anxiety, guilt and preoccupation that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

You are in a perfect position to turn your life around. Young, intelligent and no children. Doesn't matter how low you are. Mid twenties, most of us have been there...in the doldrums. Is there something you want to achieve? Pound the pavement, make it happen.
