OMG Kristina! This could have been my narrative, you just wrote it better. It's exactly what I am doing too. Married at 24 and divorced after 19 years. Here I am, turned 45 today - taking control over my "I am" narrative and doing things that make me happy. I too spent many a sessions in therapy trying to console the wounded child, and now I am beginning to let go and forgive. Happy "I am" journey to the both of us!
