Damaged Goods

Does anybody else ever feel like they're "damaged goods" and that they don't really deserve to be in a long-term relationship or in a marriage?

I did for a long time, and in fact I was so wounded, and unhealed that I was really not fit for a relationship at all, at least not the kind I wanted.

But everyone is "damaged" to one degree or another. Trick is to rebuild oneself and I can't write enough about how very possible that is. The distance I have seen people come, that I have come frankly can be incredible -- especially when you have a lot of help!

I failed at one marriage (it lasted one year) and two short relationships before I realised how messed up I was. Then I spent a long time alone but seeking help for myself. I didn't marry successfully until I was almost 40 years old.

Don't give up hope. You got half the problem licked already, realising it. Now........Do something about it instead because you do deserve happiness and you are worth it and it is doable.
