Wow. I am in aw right now. These are some awesome women and the advice is so on point and eloquently stated. I can't think of anything better to add, but I can still try and chip in too. Feeling grateful for this community when I read your thread, TO!
I am sorry this is so rough. Try and read and reread what these women are saying. No one is "done" with anything until they are dead and really done. People and feelings change all the time. Lately I keep thinking that I am done with my M and then I think of your thread and how many times I have read the word "done" and I literally roll my eyes at myself! lol.
TO, we all believe in you. You actually have complete control over your life and happiness; you just can't see it today because you are hurting and feeling defeated. That is okay, we all have those times in life! You can get to that strong and confident woman that we know you are. AND YOU WILL! One day at a time right now. Savor every little success. And don't beat yourself up every time you think you messed up. That is just being human!
Feel your pain, sadness, and fear--cry, call someone, post here--and then you get to place it on the shelf, dust yourself off, and you keep getting up. That is power and control--that much you can do now. Later you can do more.
