Blessed

This blog is called The Simple Life for a reason. In my first marriage, I admit I was expecting too many things from a marriage that did not happen in mine. In fact, my marriage was awful. At that point I felt that I am just not meant to be married. I sacrificed who I was to try to make peace with my significant other, and his family. One day, I could not take the verbal, mental and emotional abuse anymore, and well, I was on defense by myself for the remainder of the marriage. I just want a simple life. The life I am living now. No stress like I had before. I spend time with my amazing son, family and close friends these days. I just want my life to be simple. I don't want constant fighting or being on the Defensive all the time.

Even though I went through hell with my ex, I am glad I did because not only did it make me a stronger person, but I can be a better mother to my wonderful son. I don't regret anything that I have done in my life time because that would mean I would regret my son, and I definitely DO NOT regret him at all! God only gives a person what they can handle, and I am guessing he thought I was tough enough for what life dealt me. At the end of the dark, lonely tunnel, I came out victorious! A beautiful, amazing son, renewed faith in God and seeing who my true friends & family are. I thank God every day (and go to his house on Sundays now), for the life he has given me and the people he put in my life.
