Yep, you will meet some pretty amazing people here. I still boggles my mind how much people you dont even know are willing to help.
Yes, you were too young to get married. I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason. I have seen it proven true time and time again.
Your first marriage brought you your children. The most wonderful gift you can get.
You are so very early into this. This is a very difficult road. It is not for the faint of heart. But oh, will you grow and learn.
The most important thing I took from all this is that I am worthy. I am a good person who loves unconditionally. I know without a doubt that my mother and my h's opinions about my worthiness were unfounded. I have worked hard to silence their voices in my head.
They can still get in every once in awhile. But I now have the tools I need to get right back on track.
Just so you know, my reputation on these boards are that I am a soft touch, I cushion my 2 x 4's. But I am not above telling it like it is when necessary.
I am also very honest.
I will tell you that it is in your best interests to read and then reread what Mach writes to you. He is very good at getting one to think.
You will be ok.
It is important to remember to take care of you. Eat, rest, sleep, exercise, pray if you are so inclined. And the sooner you can detach from what your h is saying and doing, the better off you'll be.
It's all a process. You get there when you get there.
