    Gosh, you are awfully hard on yourself. You were thrust into a parenting role that wasn’t yours to take and you ponied up until you were 18, that is very admirable in my book. We all feel like we are selfish jerks at our core, sometimes. I think the key for you is forgiving yourself. Maybe somewhere you don’t believe that you deserve to be happy.

    You had a rough time of it, I don’t think you did anything wrong. Go to counseling, work through your issues, work on loving yourself. You can’t change just for this man but, until you learn to love yourself, how can you love anyone else?? You are worthy of every good thing, be as kind to yourself as you would be to a total stranger.

    I believe that the saying “be true to yourself” doesn’t necessarily mean “keep doing what you’re used to”. It’s a call for us to discover our authentic selves, the best version of ourselves, and be true to that ideal. Underneath all of our trials and pain and suffering, our authentic self lies dormant, awaiting to be rediscovered. Your behaviour does not define you, and if you seek change, nothing can stop you!
