I have a two-year degree in Early Education, I’m 29 years old and I live with my parents. More than anything I constantly feel like a failure because I work part-time at ice cream shop and I’m having trouble at school. I’m going to school for dental hygiene and it’s my dream to be a hygienist. All of my younger cousins are either married or married and having babies. And all I’ve ever known are abusive men verbally abused me. I’ve never had a man treat me with love and compassion. There was always something wrong with me. My ex fiance and I broke up because his friends didn’t want him to be with an Iraqi Christian and my last boyfriend and I broke up because he became obsessed with me losing weight. I just want to feel like I’m good enough and like my life is going to get better. I pray a novena everyday and I have faith in God. So I guess I’m requesting prayer.
 
I’m almost 30, and technically I live with my sister, she owns the house, but my mother and my step dad live here. Do you think I care? No. Yeah, it would be nice to be on my own, but do you know what? As long as I have a place to stay, I’m fine. I have several years of college, but no degrees, because I can’t do the math. It’s amazing, that said colleges lose everything that is supposed to help me. You have my prayers by the way.

Thank you what do you mean colleges lose everything that is supposed to help me? What does that mean?
 
I’m legally disabled, and I need a little bit more time to do math, however, colleges tend to lose all the information that say that. I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I know it’s not easy. But remember, tomorrow is a new day.

ADA papers? I have a learning disability as well and my skull is very good with accommodating me. However my one Professor was very rude to me and failed me after I refused to drop her class. I’m a very determined person and I don’t quit but with my last professor she kept telling me to drop. Now I have to retake the class and I need to do a financial aid appeal.
 
Goodness, I know how that is. I’m actually having to defer a student loan at the moment. I’m thinking about going back to school, but not the same one, I’ve almost got an associate’s anyway. Heck, if it wasn’t for the math I would almost have a Bachelors.
 
Happy,

I can definitely relate to your situation. My relationship track record leaves a lot to be desired. That said, you strike me as being a survivor because you’re still here to share your story!

I’d like to suggest something to you: stop comparing yourself to other people. relatives or not, because you’ll ALWAYS come up short! They may look like they’re better than you—but they’re not!

You need to boost your self-esteem. You have value. You have worth. God has never made junk, and you are NOT JUNK!!! I used to think I was the worst thing on two legs! I used to feel guilty for just breathing! I don’t feel that way any more.

It’s a struggle I face daily to keep myself on track, but I am undoing the sick thinking I grew up with. Bottom line is keep your focus on yourself, do your best to keep on track. From your post I’d say you’re doing very well! Keep up the great work! I’m in your corner!!!

Your friend in Christ,

Stuart
