For most of my life, I felt like no matter what I did, I just couldn't measure up or be useful to anyone. I felt like I wasn't smart enough or qualified enough to be around others. I had trouble making decisions or doing simple tasks because I felt like I wouldn't be able to tackle them. I had no self-esteem and missed out on a lot of opportunities. I had dreams and goals I wanted to achieve, but didn't go after any of them due to the fear of failure. My first marriage was a disaster due to his being an alcoholic and my not having any idea of how to handle that. I wanted desperately to create a family life for us and our son, but alcohol was too strong and I once again felt like a failure when I got divorced. I was finally brought to a point where I took a good look at my life and wanted more. I wanted to get out of the victim stance and become a survivor. Through time and journaling, I started to heal and go after the goals I once had. I want to help you overcome the obstacles as well
