There were whole books on what I was struggling with. I felt simultaneously scared and excited. Who would I be if changed? But if I didn’t, how could I expect a different result?
I worked hard. God guided my steps and brought resources to help me. And over the years, I saw a slow but steady improvement in my quality of life and relationships.
This was not a fast process. It would be 12 more years before I got married. But it was an empowering one.
