I probably wouldn't be strong if I was on my own, but have to think of my daughter and bring her up right. She's definitely not going to be a "victim". She's amazing. Just recently she's shown her strength and confidence. Yay! 😀

Keep out of the hole @TAB😊 I know what that's like. Hard to get out of it.
I can be a bit of a chatterbox. 😂

Re: The Beer Garden
..yeah probably the hardest thing is actually realising that one is in a 'hole' sometimes before it gets so hard to dig self out of .. @Former-Member then accepting false starts/ whatever comes, while pushing against ..your/my.. self..

Re: The Beer Garden
Still in high school @TAB Here they can do a course at uni while at high school.
I've taught her all I've learnt; re: surviving life. We're very open with each other. She won't take crap from guys, lol. I took a long time to learn , lol. But at least I learnt.

Yeah! Girls/women can be awful too @TAB😮
I hope you're reasonably happy on your own. I guess in some ways it would be easier. I was on my own for a long time. So now marriage isn't so easy. (Used to being on my own, lol). Need to learn to be happy in all circumstances, I guess.
