Is this dispensation from vows invalid?

When I started to get serious about the Catholic Faith, I made some promises to God (which are counted as vows, apparently). A year ago, I got dispensation from all the vows I made by an SSPX Priest. However, after reading up on some stuff, I am not sure whether this dispensation counted. Was the dispensation invalid? Am I still bound by these vows until I get them dispensed by a Catholic Priest?
 
This sounds like a question better directed to your diocese or religious community.
 
Sweet child of God,
It would be good to ask a priest from a regular church. Vows are important. God loves all ppl. He has a plan for our lives that is pure and good.
Jeremiah 29/11
I have a plan for you. It is a good plan, w/o evil. It has a future and a purpose.
May you find the plan has got for you. MAY YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO LIVE THE PLAN.

Ask a priest who is in communion (or whatever it is, basically just not sspx) about this. He’ll know more than any of us armchair apologists.
 
Please talk to your pastor about this. You’re going to get a mix of some good and some really not good advice on the internet. Your pastor is really the only one who can help you with this.

If you are underage, (sometimes even if you’re not) superiors (e.g. priests, parents,) have the right to dispense you from a vow you have made. Especially if it was unlawful.

If you go to SSPX, then ask an SSPX priest. He would be the one to have the authority over you.
 
I don’t know about the current status of SSPX Priests though. Apparently they aren’t in full Communion with Rome yet
 
As I said above, go to a diocesean priest. He’ll be able to help you.
 
What do you base that upon? Can you give me a CIC reference? 'Cuz I don’t think that’s competely true…
