MM,

I am sorry to hear you are struggling so.

You made a comment "The man that did this to me will never get it, and he still gets to live his life." Please reach out to a therapist to help you let go of this thought. It is counterproductive. The what ifs and other regrets and bitternesses only drag you down. A therapist with skills with CBT may be good.

There is a full life for the 'used to be super mom' woman. In fact, research shows that the supermom multitasking is detrimental to a healthy brain. I can't imagine what it does to an injured brain.

If you were to ask those around you, you will find that they do not expect as much from you as you expect from yourself. We tend to be our own harshest critics when those around us wonder why we push so hard.

I am a confirmed advocate of a slower life. Stop and smell the roses and watch the kids play and do all the other things that happen slowly.

My best to you.
