"I have felt every single thing on that list, and then some."

I hear ya loud and clear. Me too. As I am reading through the forum I keep thinking "but but but...damn." No use in pretending now. Not with the cold hard reality hitting me in the face like a Tyson punch.

Hi Kilowatt :)


Don't we all understand *that* struggle...the one when we find out we are not ms. perfect, that we've made poor decisions, and that we need to work on "Who?...Moi?".

"we have that "GULP" moment. The BIG GULP heard 'round the world...lol"

LOL!!! And yes, a BIG *GULP* it was. Thank you clarity. I needed the laugh. I'm definitely not ms. perfect that is for sure. But you know what, I am tired of living this way and I have no one else but myself to blame. It's time to take responsibility for what *I* am doing wrong and fix it. I'm getting there one step at a time. I loved the story empowerment shared with another poster about the oak table with a burn mark. She is so right. We have to strip away the old layers and expose what's underneath (the beauty) and then enhance it with a finish that we like. If you don't, you end up with bubbles and cracks. That makes a lot of sense and I'm beginning to do that in my own life. It's funny because I had a similar conversation with my therapist this evening.

Yes I am determined and it hasn't been easy. It comes after a lot of hard work and therapy too.
