Oh to see ourselves as others see us! Goofy...how many years have we known each other...how much have we survived what life dealt us?
I can't make you love yourself but I know that you should...those wonderful kids of yours are the good people they are because of you...you and your husband...they all adore you as do we on this forum. Please don't be so hard on yourself....we all "do" what we have to do to survive.
All of us are sinners, all of us have baggage. Sending prayers and much love.
