Maybe the meaning of your marriage is deeper than what you have given it credit for. And if you change how you see your marriage and look at it more as a savior instead of a possible mistake, the same blessings and progression that others see in your life, you would see also.

In closing, it seems that you have made it through the most difficult of challenges and that you have passed your test of life. From looking at your , your life is on an upward spin. I want to encourage you to keep moving forward and keep focused on bringing peace and joy in your life for your own self. And if you never feel 100% complete or 90% joyful, you may not be feeling trapped, you might just be experiencing the emotions of being normal.

God bless you and your beautiful family,
Dr. Kimberly Ventus-Darks
