I have no idea who I am these days. I thought I was a wife, loved by a man who would stand by my side for forever. However that turned out to not be true as we have filed for divorce and have gone our own separate ways. I thought I was a mother, but these days I feel like the children are being pulled away from me in a custody battle. I am one who loves to document, however these days I find it hard to document as it has been negative after negative. Sure there are good moments, but those moments do not pay the bills or keep my children here at home. Who am I - I am a child of God, a daughter to my parents, sibling to my brother and sister. Am I happy - Yes and no. I have my moments. Will life get better, of course it will. Just for now things are upside down and I am trying to figure out what this next chapter of my life is going to look like, who will be part of it and who I am outside of defining myself through my past, children and family. Who am I - confused seems to be the answer these days. Searching, wanting a new, happier life with someone to share memories.

Divorce and custody battles are so, so hard. You WILL get through this and you WILL be even more amazing. I hope scrapping again will help you feel less confused and more joy!

Oh Wendy I had no idea there was a custody battle! I'm so so sorry! If you feel the need to chat, please PM me.
This is a beautiful heartfelt layout and you are a beautiful woman even though you feel lost right now. You will be empowered again. It just takes time. Big hugs!

I knew I had been seeing less of your layouts on Facebook but thought maybe you were just taking a social media break. I'm sorry to read about your divorce. It's such a hard thing to navigate, but it also sounds like you are discovering you can be who you authentically are now instead of having someone else dictate to you. The layout is absolutely gorgeous, along with your beautiful selfies. You are such a master scrapper!
