I could really use a hug and some good vibes
I was thrown another curve over the weekend by life. I'm not yet ready to talk about what happened but am still pretty crushed. A lot of people, family included, look down on me because I have a failed marriage and living at home for my child for the last 3 yrs. After what happened this weekend I feel like even more of a failure and giving them more reason to think that I am. There is a possibility to turn all of this around and I could really use some positive vibes to make this happen. Thanks for all the support you guys!

I look down on anyone who thinks you FAILED at a marriage, or who thinks poorly of you because you are living at home so you can be more financially stable and support your child better.
You know your marriage ended because it was not a healthy relationship, and you know you are living at home for the right reasons and you are working hard to get out of there. Don't let other people get you down just because they are too judgemental to even realize what is really going on.
BIG HUGS!!!
Hugs.
I know you say you aren't ready to share with us what happened, but maybe someone here could give you a new way to look at it or some ideas for a solution if you do. Just a thought ...
I am sorry your family are looking down at you, they shoudn't be at all. You are doing the best you can with what you know and you deserve support. Don't think of this as a failure but rather something that will make you stronger. Every day, every hour, every moment is a do-over.
Hang in there, positive vibes your way.
