    “You’ve have sex before you’re married. You have no value in the eyes of men anymore.”

    It was mean… but there is a lot of truth in what she said to me.

    When my ex-husband co-signed a loan for my daughters, my dad said they should default on paying it so that their father would be stuck with it, because he owed them anyway. I said, “Um…Daddy, they can’t throw that dart without getting hit by it.”

    I was bullied in high school for being smart, but I guess she didn’t know how long it had been going on. She kept telling me to ignore them. The lowered my self-esteem.

    “You know you turn 24 this year and you’re still single….. you might wanna find somebody soon because after 25 its all down hill”

    My worst advice from my mom is where to find good men and she told me the best place was from the club. When I went with my girlfriends, the men at the club were crazy, egotistical, narcissistic and it was a HUGE turn off with me. Then my grandmother hooked me up with a guy from her church and ended up marrying him and have a daughter together.
