Women don’t forget the good times of any relationship and they store the memories in their hearts. It is these memories that at times cause them to turn a blind eye when a relationship turns sour. They hold on to these memories hoping things will get better or go back to the way things used to be. They have such strong faith and hope even in awful situations. Women are groomed from childhood to
become
mothers, wives and to be responsible even for other peoples lives. Unfortunately, there is little or no
training in
self-esteem, being single and content, and just being a total person. |
 The foundation of anything is important because that is what will sustain the ‘building’ or better still the individual. A weak foundation always causes problems later on in life. To fix a weak foundation you have to break down the building and start to rebuild. Reinforcement may be insufficient because it may only solve the problem temporarily. It is vital that one looks at how they are groomed into life. If you are groomed to know that for your life to be complete you
need to find a
man, just know you have it all wrong. When you don’t find one you will begin to panic and go out there and get the wrong one.
