Michele. Wonderful piece. There are so many women currently going through exactly what you describe. Every part of it. There are women who finally have made the same progress as you.
We all make mistakes my friend. It is called life. But when you learn, the way you did, it opens up life to be so much bigger and better.
Congrats to you and to all out there nodding their heads right now.
And why we are at it, let's make certain we do everything we can to make certain women NEVER give up their right to own and control their body.
I have to add this because, Rv.W.
But read my sentence again, we really have to fight now, in 2022 to own and control our own bodies?? What the?
(yep, sadly we do...)
