Finally realise my own worth at 49

[Proseccodreams]

So newly divorced for the second time at 49 and finally realise my own worth! But god I regret never appreciating myself and having confidence in my 30s! What a waste! I was in such great shape in my 30s and I had so little confidence I didn’t see it or appreciate it hence me marrying a narcissist who continues to reinforce my self doubt. I was just watching AJ and Rochelle on Hit List being so fully aware of their beauty and their confidence and I SO regret wasting all those years and only now realising how great I am! And now am I too messed up to ever allow any man in again?!

Sorry that was “continued” past tense, we are divorced now and I am free tf!

Congrats!
I wa also divorced for the second time at 48. I also never realised quite how amazing I am, having been almost destroyed by two narcs. But, I can honestly say that I'm happy now and I no longer need anyone to validate me.
Buy yourself a whole new wardrobe, wear anything you like, happy shopping!

Thanks Yasminisa on it! Xx

I finally left my abusive narc in January and starting following ladies whose style I liked on yt and insta and then went and spent a tonne of money on new clothes. I completely ‘levelled up’ as a tool to help myself recover (with therapy too) and regret nothing!!

Congratulations! You are amazing- you all are. And no, never too late.I saw something on Instagram this morning which kind of captures the mood.

So glad you are the right side of it. Im a bit older than you 51, and still reeling from second marriage breakdown and then a horrendous failed relationship , I think I’ve cried every day for 18 months and still feel no better.
I’m fit and active, got tons of amazing clothes but no one to go out with to wear them. Its bloody lonely being single in your 50’s.

CoraggioCara I love that! Wise words!
I have written loads of positive of quotes in a book so I can keep reading them and reminding myself

@CoconutAmericano i like that approach I will have a look into following people I admire!

@50plusandfabulous keep going we can do this! Xx

@Proseccodreams trying!

Congrats! I’m 41 and just realised my own selfworth, I don’t even want to think about a man never mind having another relationship. When I was stick thin, collarbone sticking out thin people told me I was fat. When I put on a little weight I was apparently massive. Why do other people have to knock others down and make them feel shit eh.

cheated on for 20 years, 20 years of me being miserable but not thinking anyone else would want me. Now I don’t give a shit if I’m single for the rest of my life, time to look after no1!
