The myth that marriage equals happily ever after.

That my soul would be damned if I had pre-marital sex.

People who told me they were my friends and weren’t there for me, when I needed them.

That my parents were perfect. They are not. Just human like the rest of us.

The lie that he had really divorced his wife, even producing divorce papers. I was still suspicious, and took the papers down to the courthouse, and found out the papers we actually his sister’s and he had altered them to make them look like his own. He’s dead now, literally.

Go away Brad….you bore us gals. Sure you have opinions, but we don’t care. The biggest lie I ever believed was that I wasn’t good enough just the way I was. If I had that as my foundation, instead of trying to be something or someone else, I would be so much farther along on my personal journey.

That being an emaciated stick figure is something i should aspire to.

When people in my life told me as a pregnant teenager that I would never amount to more than a statistic sucking up tax dollars. When my abusive ex told me that: (1) no one would want me sexually because I’d already delivered a child (2) my parents didn’t love me (3) I was psycho (4) I would never make it in life (5) I was fat and unnactractive. Boy I sure am glad I didn’t listen. I raised a daughter into adulthood and put her and myself through school, married a man and am still married for 15+ years and I have the best relationship with my mom. I have a wonderful job that pays well and has benefits. I’m not CEO nor did I finish my degree but I have a comfortable lifestyle. I was helped along the way by some very loving and generous people who gave me a home, trust, family and helped me find a job. It was a humbling experience but I wanted to make them proud of me and never ever regret that they helped a “statistical loser” like me! 8-)

That he truly loved me.

That God is a man.
