I'm a single mom of 5 and I'm healed. I've gone through two divorces (17yrs, and 8 yrs). I manage and overcome depression daily, and I'm empathetic almost to a fault. I've also found my identity within the LGBTQ+ community, and intertwined it with my Christian faith and Christian family. I also experienced losing my job at a church because of my LGBTQ+ identity. I was nearly drowned in emotional abuse by my narcissistic ex-spouse. I've endured co-parenting with someone who harbors resentment towards me, yet takes it out on our kids. I've wrestled with guilt about my two divorces and decided I don't deserve to marry again, but I've healed and have found the man I want to marry. I understand what it feels like to not want to live anymore, but then to recover from that mindset. And I know what it's like to lose a loved one and have it completely change the trajectory of my entire life. I've been through a lot, but I'm healing on a daily basis.
