I had a hard time responding to this one, and that worried me until I realized why I was having trouble. Usually these stories touch places in me of sorrow, heartbreak, even anger. And there was some of that happening here too, don't misunderstand. But the places you really affected in me were the ones where I keep things like admiration and even happiness. Because through all the heartbreak and anger, there's a core of strength that is awesome to behold. Like the cable that holds up the bridge, it looks thin and fragile at a distance and you don't see how anything like that could keep something so massive from falling down. But then you look close and see and feel just how tough it actually is. I hope you can stay out of the trap of second-guessing yourself. Because all along you made the right moves for the right reasons. And it took every one of them to get you to where you are now. Even the ones you wish you could have done differently. And from what I can see, the place you're in now is worth it. The story you tell will inspire many. I hope that at the same time, it inspires you.

I applaud your strength & tenacity at getting yourself and your children out of that situation.

I’m happy you have a man in your life who treats you well. You absolutely deserve that.

Your children are blessed that you are their mom. Everyone needs a strong role model and that is what you are providing them. Well done!
