still running from my memories
I have spent my life trying to have my own family image. I am 47 even now, when I am at a funeral or a gathering in my hometown. I am referred to as a "Goodwin Girl" My family name.

There is no such thing
as normal.  I have learned that at least.  We make the best of our life choices I have to keep telling myself that.  Things happen for a reason though there are many times we dont understand someday we will know the answers.

Just know this... you are a "golden girl" still. Look in the eyes of your babies that you give your love to everyday. You are a hero to them because you are MOM. The rest might be hard but in time it will come together. Just hang in there. You got people in your corner. That was a well written post btw. Look forward to more entries.

Brace up girl

For me you are a hero, no i am not being sarcastic and i mean it.  It takes guts to be where you are. I am in this perfect life and yet i know it isnt.

I want to be in the realationship though i know it wont last long. But i want to be there. I choose not to and i am here in my perfect life and with the thought....... I wish

Why regrets, whats done is done. you were best in the past and i am sure you will be best in future too.

Love,

Amy

IMO you are right about all families being dysfunctional in one way or other. It's the same as saying that nobody or nothing is perfect.  Often we give up on things because we cannot  do them perfectly, then we give up on ourselves. After such a successful and golden youth it must be very hard to accept these setbacks; but basically you are still the same person who can get hold of your life again - but be human and don't expect to be superhuman.

 Hi, “golden girls” seem to get involved with the wrong guys. I mean in terms of type and priorities. If you show your good attitude about your reception back where you grew up you’ll do just fine as a single mom love. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst
