Re-Introducing myself.29 years ago, I left my then husband and took my three daughters with me to start life as a single parent. Currently I am a wife, mother, grandmother, professor, and nurse practitioner. How did I get here? My life is made up of starting over many times. A snapshot;* Pregnant at 17* First child at 18* Customary marriage at 18* Second child at 19* Third child at 24* Separated at 28* Remarried at 36* Fourth child at 38* Grandmother at 44* Been married for 21 years and loving life.Getting pregnant at 17 and marriage at a young age was a bad idea. I thought people fell in love and lived happily ever after. The tell-tale signs were there right after marriage, but I was too young and naรฏve to know better. After 10 years of marriage, at 28, I left with my three children.I did not expect the hate, isolation, and negativity from the people I knew.Our society was not meant for single women and taking children after separation was not taken kindly in our Luo community. I was told to take the children back or leave them with my mom in the village, for me to be available to remarry. I was setting a bad example for my sisters as the firstborn girl and I had lost my honour as a woman. To regain it I had to either go back to my husband or find a new one. Who would marry me with grown children? I was called names.I questioned myself. I was afraid of the unknown future. I was tired, lost, lonely, unhappy, and felt like a total failure – Loser. I never wanted to go back. Going back was not an option. I had already left and went back several times – not this time.If you are going through a separation, break-up, or divorce, you too have strength within you to survive this period. Hang in there. You may feel broken, worthless, alone, ashamed, and doubtful; know that this is not the end. There is something out there for you. God has plans for you too.My mission is to help women start over after divorce or separation from their spouse, so they can move forward to realize their full potential, take control of their lives and their happiness, and learn to love again.For more information check my profile and my two E-Books.๐ผ๐๐ค๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐๐จ ๐ค๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง, ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ก๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ช๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ง, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐จ๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฎ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ก, ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐, ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ช๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง – ๐๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ข๐ค๐ง๐.
