For the few years I was dating my now husband, my mom and I fought constantly. Day after day, I’d study her face and I’d either run away, or go into battle mode.
(I shared my experience in this winning speech).I had to deal with a lot of grief, feeling like I’ve lost my mom.
I felt guilty, because I felt as if I’d failed my mom.
I was also very scared, for not knowing whether I was making the right decision.
It was one of the hardest journeys I had to go on, and I had to choose myself over over again in order to make it to where I am now.
