@itsjessiebelle: Some of y’all worry way too much about being judged. When you’re trying to rebuild a life, provide for your kids, and become someone they’re proud of, other people’s opinions become background noise. My kids watched me start over. They watched me keep going on the days I wanted to quit. That’s the example I wanted to set. So no, I’m not chasing approval. I’m chasing the life I promised my family we’d have. If that makes people uncomfortable, they’ll be okay.
