My almost ex husband left us a year and a half ago after a long term affair that rocked my world.
I have 2 little kids, 1 big dog, and a house that are all my responsibility.
In the last 18 months I have:
Almost doubled my salary
Started a side hustle that is now reliably generating $2500-3000 per month
Fixed my oven, washing machine, dryer, and car by myself at various points
Kept the house in good, clean, working condition with some minor upgrades I did solo
Re-invigorated friendships with my closest girlfriends
Poured my heart and soul into my kids who seem to be doing much better than OK all things considered
Won $2000 on a lottery ticket and took the kids and I to Paris
Had the honor of caring for my beloved grandma at the end of her life
Sometimes I'm just like DAMN LOOK AT ME THRIVING IN THE FACE OF TRAUMA

But seriously, it just feels GOOD to know that I'm capable and strong and that my kids can hopefully look back with some context some day and understand that their mom did her best.
What are you proud of yourself for?
