Yes, lovely quotes thank you. And so important to reconnect with our inherent worth through this process. That's really a journey worth taking and so many of us lose parts of ourselves through being married. Also, we (I!) have relied so much on the good opinion of others. In my marriage, I operated through a lens of 'what kind of wife do I think you want' and 'what kind of stepmom should I be?'

Now I just try and bring me to the table and make my best effort with things. It is freeing to think less about what should I do or what do they thing, and think more about what do I want to do? What works for me? That doesn't mean less kindness or support or help - but just a stronger sense of self and motives in the process..
