One example would be my first husband, an abusive alcoholic. I was a naive nineteen year-old girl who believed she had found her Prince Charming. In the beginning, he was kind, thoughtful, attentive... I ignored the other things: his drinking, dishonesty, sneakiness...
It's been a long, hard road overcoming my recklessness.
I've stumbled many times since I was nineteen.
My amends to myself today for the past, is to listen to my feelings, trust my instincts, and make healthy choices.

I wonder if I am simply openhearted or reckless with my soul?
