Post divorce I took my ass to therapy because I really needed to process why I wasn't good enough for someone to stay married to, and unpacking my baggage there and realizing we all grow and change and it was fine, was the best thing I ever did for me and all my future partners

I still have some body images issues but they existed before my marriage, baby having, and divorce, and it has been a life long battle of learning to love myself. I am mostly there most of the time and honestly happier than I ever was a thin woman

I also took my then 6 year old to therapy to process his parents not living together, and I realize these are privileges, I sincerely wish this country would focus on mental health. It is a fucking privilege for me to be able to afford my son's life coach to help with anxiety
