Get over it." What ever happened to a work ethic? To taking pride and responsibility in one's own abilities? In trying to better oneself? In self respect?
This is sooooo common! I'm with you....what you live through and overcome makes you who you are....something to be proud of, not a hinderance. I've been there...and continue to "move on" and keep improving my life with hard work, persistance...all motivated by what I want to be and do. Life is wonderful, if you allow it to be.
