    Hi Kay,

    Your story reminds me of that of a friend of mine. She had a few bad relationships and kids as well, she also had a very rough life. A broken single mother, she didn’t know what else to do. So I gave her some advice that stuck with her, she never forgot.

    I told her to forget about finding the right person and to take time to heal herself…to focus on her well being, health, career etc..I told her to do things that she enjoyed doing, things that made her happy. I told her that the moment she was happy and content with her self and life, then the right guy will come along.  It wasn’t easy, many times she fell into the same pattern and she would contact me and we would talk for hours. She fell many times, but with encouragement she got up again and remembered my advice and kept on trying. The first thing she did was started to focus on her career..eventually found a better job, went back to school, got the promotion. She joined the gym and met people who introduced her to yoga and meditation..which she loved and it helped her along her path. Fast forward a few years later, in her 40s already…she was happy and content with her life as it is..she was not looking for anyone to make her feel complete, she felt complete already….and you know what! she met an amazing guy and got married and she is so happy. I met her recently and she told me that she never forgot the advice I gave her.

    I would give you the same advice I gave my friend 🙂

    Thank you for all  your wonderful responses, I really appreciate it.

    Anita, you are absolutely correct, I am not totally powerless, but not without difficulties and stress and over the years I have gotten tired of it all. There is only so much a person can handle regardless of how strong they are. All those years of stress has taken a toll on me, as a result I have become sick with frequent headaches, thyroid issues, weight gain etc..I along with my kids deserve so much more. I spent some time alone, just me and my self..meditating and I came to certain realizations, I felt as though I have lost myself. This is not me, I was a person who was into meditation, yoga, spirituality..very strong and healthy and fit individual. I lost myself during those years, caught up in the stresses of married life and dealing with a difficult spouse, a life of fighting and struggle. As I am getting older, I do not want to waste another second of my life like that again. This is not the life I was meant to live for me and my children. It is not possible for me to move out right now, our living situation have changed a bit..still the same house, but I have decided to sleep in another room by myself. It’s only been a few days now, but I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my chest, I can breathe well again. I am taking it one step at a time, getting back in touch with my meditation, yoga and diet. I have made a list of things I enjoy doing and plan to follow through with it, I have connected with fellow disciples of my meditation group. It’s a great start and I can only grow from here. I will not give up 🙂
