DISCOVERING WHO I AM!
At 40 plus years, its incredible to start to learn who you are. When I first started going through my divorce, I was in therapy and she really helped me to get through it all. I learned that I can not blame myself for the demise of my marriage, I learned that the issues he has are his to deal with not mine. I learned that I need to be healthy so that I can move on with my life. As I travelled through the complexities of becoming a divorced mother, I realized that I was stronger than I originally gave myself credit for. I discovered that my so call friends where not there and were quite self absorbed. I discovered that my world was different, but that I would be fine ultimately. As time went on, I made the decision to discontinue therapy,. I felt that I had progressed well enough that I could go on solo.
You must understand that I have been going to counseling on and off since I was twenty years old. I love therapy and see nothing wrong with it. In fact, I commend people, especially men for taking the initiative to better themselves.
Well I discontinued therapy but I decided to start going again this year after a one year break. I decided to try a new therapist. My old therapist was Jewish and about my age. My current therapist if African American and possibly a little older than I. It has been interesting to say the least. She gets me and that counts to me. With her I have managed to have several AHA moments. Oprah would be so proud! I've realized that I have a cycle that I tend to follow when it comes to men. That cycle allows me to hoover between two men. It allows me to stay in limbo until a final decision is made. I realize that currently, I am getting ready to repeat the same cycle again, but knowing is half the battle right ?
So, here begins my vision of my future!!!!!
