A good number of people have told me over my years of being separated that due to my "baggage", I probably won't marry again.
These many people telling me this are my family members. Opinions full of support and wisdom and oh such hope. My family members refer to my life with my three daughters as "baggage". You wondering where I'm headed with this?
Here.
Maya, Sabrina and Layla don't like being referred to as baggage. They think it's rude and mean. They take offense to those words, as they should.
By the way, I tell my 3 baggages things. I tell them to respect their elders. But please do honour the feelings of whatever comes up for you behind that respect. I can't be responsible for other people's actions, but I can best guide my girls.
What I don't share is my family members telling me that no man will take me for more than a sex object, because of all that baggage.
The people saying this are stupid.
This talk is not supportive nor is it true. You call my life baggage, I will correct you.
I will marry again. And to that future man of mine, you will be the luckiest guy in this good world; My kids say so.
Hugs n kisses (just not to the stupids)
Jen
