Erin Go Bragh

So last week was really bad for me. I was constantly barraged with underestimation & had my intelligence (or "obvious" lack thereof) questioned. I'm sick to death of it. It's very demoralizing. Now I question everything I do. I can't help it, it's just how I am. I'm determined not to be the doormat anymore! I don't want to be pushed around ever again. Not now, when things are going so well. I have the love of my life. I have 2 beautiful daughters (one that was just added :-D). Sure, there are things that go with this idyllic new life. Mortgages, sibling rivalry... me trying to become accustomed to the fact that I don't have to worry about being battered (mentally, for the most part) anymore; I'm safe. This is the closest I've ever been to a picket fence, well adjusted life, so I can really say I have one! But, I discovered that I have been lied to for 2 decades by someone I loved and trusted. I've been betrayed. I'm still trying to process this... bbl. I don't want to think of this right now.
