How you've handled yourself, your care of your kids, and the fact that you've stood by and taken so much garbage from your W all the while being the beacon of strength should make you very proud.
It's a tough road being an LBS, but all of us should be proud of the fact that we're still here standing, despite taking the hardest of blows, often repeatedly.
Your self esteem is going to have a rock solid foundation when all is said and done. Build on that foundation when you can, but feel it in there on your hard days.
How easy would it be to quit? People do it and just walk away all the time.
You haven't. Nor would you. That's strength. That's esteem.
Be proud Heavy, you've earned it the hard way.
