Yeah so this is me. My life did not go the direction I was hoping or that I had planned. When I was a kid I wouldn't have said that I wanted to marry someone mentally/emotionally abusive, get divorced as my husband goes to jail, be a single mom, get married for a second time, be a stepmom to three kids...have major depression...

I could say more, but these were not my childhood dreams. Not the route I would have chosen. But I guess after reading this...you never know what God is protecting us from by taking us a different way.
