One of the things I have learned on my journey, is that all of that stuff that we have gone through, all of the crap that affected us negatively, doesn’t have to. It is what you make it and sweetie, you sound like you are on the right track.
Take all of that stuff and use it to your advantage.
Look at the childhood. You went through stuff to give you the strength that you have inside. The strength that you are just now beginning to discover. But it was a gift. And now you are seeing it.
It gave you the strength to walk this path that you have walked with H so far. It gave you the strength to start school again. It gave you the strength to not let this new crap sink you for long.
Now your eyes have been totally opened. See the blessings that surround you. The people, your son, the future you are building. See the beautiful person that you are and that you show here every single day.
Then let her start to shine.
And Beginners, you do deserve the wonderful people you have in your life. You really do.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
