I cannot express the disappointment in myself enough
I am a beautiful grandmother, mother, daughter, and employee
Years of marriages and divorces
Days of struggling to be "someone"
Hours of training my self-esteem to be high

And ex calls. I call him back like the fool I am.

It only took a milli-second to have to start all over.

Back to counseling I go...
