Feelings of defeat, constant anxiety, and slight depression were starting to choke me. It was at that point I felt God show me what was happening.

I understand how you feel. I still have those feelings and my children are grown. You are an exceptional mother, wife, and daughter and I am so thankful you married David. I'm here for you anytime you feel overwhelmed. I love you!
