MB...I'm really sorry, I haven't got a lot of time to respond tonight...
Just a few questions...who is it who asks you how much you earn or asks about your marital status?? Who judges you according to how or where you live?? What sort of people are you hanging around with?!
I would start surrounding yourself with genuine people who don't use status as a way of judging you.
The real you...the highly intelligent, articulate, compassionate and empathetic you. The boxing, independent, strong and powerful you. The woman who faces her past and doesn't allow it to dictate her future...well she's standing up straight and tall. It's hard I know. Sometimes it will be like that. But your AV will shout out and try to use this tough time...don't listen. You have moved beyond that. WAY beyond that.....
Will try and post a bit more tomorrow. Rest tonight. Tomorrow is a new day xxx
