G- you've done a heroic job making peace with your terrible ex for the sake of your child. I admire that - I couldn't have done it.
As for people judging your dating choices - nobody here is in your shoes. I think you've done a great bit of self-examination, and are prepared to be a great partner to the right guy when he appears.
Thanks KML. I feel like I’ve really made some huge improvements. And the point of my post was that I am at peace at where I am. I’ve evaluated, changed, modified, and I am truly at peace that I am a worthy partner, and a partner should be worthy of me as well. I am at peace knowing that I have seen some error examined it, and did work. One thing I am never afraid to do is look deep and work hard to change things.
I’m simply done letting my single status define wrong or right in what I do or how I do things. I guess as it’s been mentioned, I might have finally figured out how my relationship status of either single or taken doesn’t make me good or bad or wrong or right . And even when you do learn and change things and still get the same result ( I’m still single) it still doesn’t mean “I” am doing something wrong
