I have some comments if you will allow.
- College… I got nothing. I am in MIS/Business Management, but I feel that I am not smart enough to be in college at all.
- Married and leaving hometown… You married a good man and your hubby so just outed you on the 30 minute thing.
- Family issues… I cannot fathom nor understand what going through all of that was like. But take solace in the love you do have.
- Changing your religion… was this done because you had to for marriage or because you wanted to? Is this new god the same one you used to believe in? If he is… I am sure he is okay with you following a new religion. Different god… you may have some issues. Please consult your handbook.

- The career… The other things you went through traumatized you, even if not PTSD, it was still traumatic. The trauma caused you to rethink some things that you had in your life. You made a choice based on those thoughts. For better or worse, they lead you where you need to be… even if it is not where you want to be.

Fox said teen… this is Spanish for really obnoxious and self righteous little prick that you love anyway. I have one, you have one…one day the teen will either go Menendez, or realize that he appreciates his parents and is lucky to have more than one set of parents.

-trying to rectify secular life with religious life (soooo confusing)
Why is it confusing? Why have a secular life and a religious life? Should your life not be either both of none?

I applaud all of you for making do with one bathroom ever.

-trying to figure out who the **** I am, what my purpose is, and what the **** I am supposed to be doing since everything I have tried in the past two years just leads me to a dead end. My faith gives me no answers other than "be patient and wait."
The rewards of faith are not often material, the rewards are in the next life. I know this does not help now, but keep your faith. The people who are really men and women of faith are awesome, the people who are religious suck ***.

Anyone else gone through something like this? (Not in your teenage years...in adult life.)
