DG, I believe that you have been fighting the good fight and for your efforts you have been blessed with two beautiful children.
Accept yourself first and foremost. It is OK to march to the beat of a different drummer. DG, you have to love yourself first.
When our MLCers do this to us it crushes our self esteem and those feelings of worthlessness set in. It really is our choice whether or not we pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and realize that this is NOT about us or our worth, or we let it sink us into a bottomless cesspool.
You said it sweetie, your kids are depending on you. You cannot let them down.
