I started dating my husband when I was 15, I am 27 now. We have been married and living together for 2 years now, and I should be happy... Right? I mean, I have all the things a woman my age should want, a husband, a house... but I am still not happy.

A lot of issues from my childhood have resurfaced over this past year (I was molested by my father, and it is finally out in the open), and I am under a lot of stress. I quit my job, met a man online (had an emotional affair), and I feel like I don't fit into my own life anymore. I feel like I am going insane, like something has got to give. I think I need to leave

Sounds like you are doing therapy with a Therapist.

When things are overwhelming it is easier to self doubt and seek comfort where you can. I have a similar situation with my partner and every time I get really, really low I doubt our relationship and other life choices, making myself even more stressed. I hope you forgive yourself, you are human and deserve love and compassion from yourself.

I don't have exactly the same issue, but I know the feeling of wanting balance. I too am off balance right now. I hope things go better for you in the future.

Have you tried a therapist?

No, I have not. I guess I always thought I could handle it myself... I got this far right? I don't have a job right now, so I can't even afford to go if I wanted too.

I so hope you are talking with a therapist on this one. There are several places that help with what you are dealing with. I am so sorry you are struggling so much. My father wasn't my abuser but I had the abuse. I so understand. Please see someone. A therapist that works with trauma. sending you hug's
