Thank you all so much. It feels good to be able to share something positive, hopefully inspiring others to hang on. This season of life will not last forever. It brought me to my knees many times. I can remember telling God to "stop it!" I couldn't take any more pain. What happened from there has been a very slow recovery and a necessary rebuilding of myself. Pain does serve a purpose. All of the tears I cried were part of the process of ridding myself of all of the abuse and toxicity, taking me down to the nubs. Along the way I have struggled with patience and my faith. It was hard to believe that things would ever get better since my life seemed to be getting worse with every day. I still have challenges ahead, but I feel much more capable of handling them now. I am so grateful for the steadfast support I've received here. Thank you!
