Antonia, You are not damaged goods. You've learned from your mistakes and have been more than willing to share what you've learned along the way. No one is perfect and we all have issues of one kind or another...it's what we do w/the the knowledge and acceptance of who we are that counts.
Congratulations on the publication of your book! Can you share the title w/us? I'd love to read it.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
