When I look at myself 10 years ago, I really want to hug her(me) and tell her it was all going to be ok. I would tell her that Mother wouldn't change and to not expect her to get any better, but to learn to ignore her snarky/nasty comments a lot more. I would tell her that she was worth to be treated better than the men in her life currently were. That I was really annoying and possibly needed a therapist to really talk to because the people in my life couldn't understand the pain in my heart and never would. I know we live and learn, and I did a lot of living and learning because it led me to a place I am SO thankful to be in. I try to imagine how my life would have been had I never met James. I can't imagine living without this kind of love in my heart, planted carefully by a man that can't imagine life without me. A man that thinks I am an awesome wife, but an even greater mother. A man that thinks about his family first before he even begins to think about himself. <3
