Vulnerability: When life gives you 🍋🍋
🤍 My Story: I thought I had it all together at a young age; Marriage, children and a college education. Yup, I married my high school sweetheart all was gucci ☺️ until ⏩ Fast-Forward 20 years later, Here I am single and right back at my parents house again 🫠
💔How I Felt: Betrayed, broken, lost and confused. It’s like walking around with a smile while trying to keep all of the broken pieces together and trying not to fall apart.
❤️🩹 My Takeaways: Even on my hardest days, it still beats being with someone who doesn’t value me. My daughters look up to me and as hard as divorce has been for me, I know that God has better plans for me than I could ever imagine for myself.
💖Where I am now: Healing, in therapy and doing all the things that make me and my daughters happy. I don’t lose sleep and my dreams are more of a reality now 😌💕
Divorce can often feel like a daunting journey, but many find strength in community and shared experiences.
