Thank-you Jasmine-3, Big Blue, and Matt,

I’m grateful for many things in my life. I have great kids and people seem to get along with me quite easily. (By the way, my sons are awesome. How many 11 year olds listen to old jazz instrumentals to get drumming tips, or 14 year olds that are hooked on classic Bob Dylan)
I have parents that care about me and I’m quite healthy. I’m just trying to come back to a place where my self-esteem is where it once was before my marriage ended. I wrote in the relationships section again. The other woman I was trying to date decided she shouldn’t date right now. I get tired of rejection.

I am grateful that I found this site and I am able to interact with some of the great people I have found on here. Sometimes I feel a little guilty because I read some of the posts on here, and some people are suffering so much more than I am, and I don’t know what to say that might help them.
Four years ago, I would have never shared my life like this. I sat alone in what was troubling me and tried to figure it out myself. It worked sometimes because I used to always believe that things would get better. I had a positive belief that I could always make it better.
I want to be that person again. You guys help me. Thank-you so much.
