OK, I will admit I have low self-esteem.  I don't see too much of the good in myself.  My partner for 10 years, husband for 4 of them threw me out 36 weeks pregnant with our 2nd child.  We have been apart for a month now and I am realizing that he did me a favor.  I did not deserve the emotional and verbal abuse he was putting me through.  Now, here I am 5 days past my due date, taking care of a 3 year old who is throwing tantrums because of the stress and I have thought many times "I can't do this".  Well, I'm doing it!  Yes it's hard, yes I get frustrated, but I'm still here, still sane, and getting stronger every day.  Someone told me you never know how strong you are until you have to be, who knew how right they were!  I know this is going to be a long road with lots of ups and downs but I know now that I am a lot stronger than I think I am and will face whatever comes my way.

OMG Hun. You are an amazing young lady. You should be so proud of yourself. It is very hard to go through the things you are going through. Take care of yourself no matter what. Do anything to help you feel good about yourself. Dress up, do your hair, makeup and tell yourself you are a DIVA. LOL. Beyonce has nothing on hot mama's. Take Care
