Believe NOTHING they say and only half of what they do. This isn't the person you married, she has been invaded by a pod person who can't see the truth if it sat on their face. You know your worth and she can't be the one to tear that down. You are strong and amazing, and she is an idiot at present.
As far as childhoods go, I had an absolutely horrific one. I would NEVER cheat so she can't go and blame her past on her present. I decided to use my painful childhood as a way to NOT parent horribly. Instead of putting the needs of my pick-of-the-month-manbaby I place priorities on my children's well being and happiness. I refuse to let my past define me, instead I rise above. Use this pain and rise above.
