I can say that I WISH I had seen that my attempt to better myself and grow as a person at your age was DEFINITELY negatively impacted by my husband's dysfunctional behavior patterns that he often chose to blame on me. The "oh but I love him" IS NOT ENOUGH, I paid a hefty price for that mindset.

I WISH there was a site like this when I was going through all of that way back when I was your age. You are lucky that you have this site and can find people that can help you see the LIGHT.

You mentioned that you don't know how to cook? Well, that's so fixable as there are lots of cookbooks out there, ones you can even probably find at the library you work at where you can xerox different recipies that you can try and actually you may even find that you like cooking.

You CAN learn to drive too, you can get the hang of it Doglover, you can get over that nervous feeling you have that is normal to a lot of new drivers just learning.
