| But I remembered the cycle of abuse...I stood up for my daughter when he started abusing her.?I am finishing my degree by attending school full-time for the first time since I was college-aged.?I'm trying to make a better way of life for my daughter and not have to rely on anyone for income.?I reestablished contact with my family.?I had to let all the "wrong" I believed they had done, go.?I had to admit to myself that they were right to be concerned for my daughter.?I let go of friendships that didn't make sense.?Friendships that were toxic, people who didn't accept me as me.?They wanted me to "rise up" to their level, when in fact, they were the ones with no morals or ethics.I allowed myself to fall for the "nice guy".?I let myself trust someone and invited him into my life.??I was open about my past and reveled in our new relationship.?My focus has always been on my daughter, but as time goes by, I had to let go of some positions that were hampering my goals (finishing school) and some that hampered my time with my daughter.?Because as we all know when a company wants to let you go, there is no love lost; you're just gone.I have been reminded throughout this change in my life, that my friends have been my support system.?They have cheered for me and helped me get to the point I'm currently at...They accept me for me.?A potty mouthed (at times, only because Squish keeps giving me "tickets"), outgoing, talkative, spiritual (you may think this conflicts with the potty mouth, but strangely...no), friendly, open woman.? |
