Quote From: shortcomingsDear Brenda;
I'm not trying to minimize your problem, as it was a problem w/me as well.
There is a point in which you need to take control of your problem, as yes, there needs to be a mouring process as well-I had to endure that myself in the recovery process.
It was hard, but I am happy I did so, and have taken charge of my life and my decisions.
But from the recovery process, I have been able to distance myself from the people that happened to push me into the situation.
Sorry if I came across as 'cold' but you will feel much better taking control of your own 'choices' and making your own decisions about recovery.
You still need to arrest your situation as you can.
I had an abortion last June, and have been fighting the eating disorder tooth and nail to continue to take care of yourself.
Being a single parent is mostly by choice, and as far as I was concerned, I knew I didn't have the stability to being a parent.
My pastor knows me well, and he is great in helping me get thru these things.
