Hi shane22 and welcome to ehealth: First, I have to say I love your name....Now for the post...It sounds to me like you never had a chance to grow up and mature into being the woman that lives inside you...A forced or arranged marriage for a woman must be very difficult to accept...I can only imagine the torture it must have been for you to accept a man that you did not love...I do not speak of physical torture, I speak of the mental part of life and giving when you did not want to give...
I think the best thing for you to do is to think of your children....Be everything that you can be to them without confusing them.....Try and return to places in life that you have lost to find yourself...You are still young...Don't rush to find the real woman in yourself....In time she will find you....Take care...
