    am I a failure?

    Sitting here, taking a break from packing oh what fun. Just thinking about things from the past....two marriages down the drain, credit is wrecked because of everything going on, and I feel like the world's biggest failure. Last night I went to the house and just looked around.....I tried to show people I could actually do something on my own without having my ex around, and it all blew up in my face. I hate this! I feel like I'm totally spinning my wheels and just going nowhere! I think i just want to crawl under the nearest rock and just not come out.

    Where the heck do I go from here? I know things could be worse...much much worse. I just try and take things one day at a time, the best thing I can think of.
    Insert cute phrase here

    We all have things blow up in our faces. It doesn't mean you are a failure, it simply means you tried. That is a good thing by the way. Things will get better.

    Someone who has never failed, never tried anything new. There are plenty of people who sit in their safe, little cocoons and say HEY, LOOK AT ME, I AM A WINNER! IM BETTER THEN YOU FAILURES OVER YONDER! But they just weren't brave enough to try anything out of their comfort zone.


    Things will get better. Just keep hanging on.

    So true and I bet you have learned things from this time in your life that will help you later on. We all fail at one time or another, no one is perfect. You seem to be handling it well also, some people just give up.

    As for where you go from here, why...anywhere! But you don't have to decide this very moment. Take some time, think about things, heal.

    I don't think you are a failure, I think that you are trying to be independent and do your own thing, and you are doing a good job. Who needs a darn man anyways, all they do is itch themselves and steal the remote ((j/k trying to make you laugh))

    Please know that this difficult time WILL come to an end, and you WILL be better off. I know that it is a small comfort, but know that you will get through this.
    I will pray that things get better & continue to improve for you.

    Teresa! What the heck is going on? I just tried calling you and left you a voice mail. No! You are not a failure. You have struggled through and dug yourself out of so much lately, I consider that to be successful! Call me GF!
