This is your journey and no one can make you do a darn thing. We all have paths to follow. Sometimes those paths take us in many directions. The lessons you learn along the way are your lessons and we all have opinions, but at the end of the day, you are the only one that is looking in the mirror and can be pleased with your lessons and what you have discovered about yourself.
Posters need to remember that each person's journey may be different. It is not for us to say who will have a successful journey right out of the gate. Each journey is unique and each poster will figure things out on their timeline...not ours.
Ginger, I look forward to seeing what 2023 will be like for you. Your daughter is growing up into a beautiful young lady and you have a great relationship w/her. Don't be too hard on yourself when it comes to life. I know you get discouraged at times, but once you figure things out, you come out much stronger and wiser. Be kind and patient with yourself.
P.S. We are here to support, not be the judge, jury and executioner. Try to remember posters from all over the world come here for advice and to read what others have experienced along the way.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
