I 'graduated'. I am now a licensed vocational nurse (LVN). I got the second highest score on our exit exam in the entire class (half the class did not pass and had to take it again) AND I passed the NCLEX-PN on my first attempt having been out of school a month and didn't open a book to study.
I am a confident, at times head strong woman who will no longer let her needs take a backseat to my RAH anymore. I don't have to. I now have options that I did not have before. I no longer just accept his words as the gospel truth I take them as his opinion, or see them for what they really are...the only thing he has left to try to control and manipulate me into doing what he wants.
Screw that!
I am capable of deciding what I want to do, what I need to do and be completely okay with the result of those choices.
I've come a LONG way, Baby!!!!
