I adulted by age 7, but my marriage was a shock to my system and took away all autonomy. I was dependent on him for things he would never provide, due to being taught my whole life that being a stay at home mom was not just a good thing, but anything else was sub-par and would result in failure on my part….not OUR part.

Baby steps indeed. Now sick, broke and dependent again, I’m working myself through school so I can someday figure this out. I’m excited to figure it out. But i don’t want to be around people much at all.
