Share something that makes you feel proud of yourself

Ansh kudos to you. I still believe that we can take over things when it comes to taking care of our kids. I am glad that you daughters are in their teenage. I still do not believe why we still crave for a boy child.

When I was carrying my 1st son I had spotting's for 2 weeks and went for check up to a famous doctor. They confirmed that I was pregnant but the fetus was dead and had to get aborted. Both of us were happy and shocked with the news. We were actually not ready to accept it so went to my mom who was working as Nursing Suptd and told her about it. She took us to another doc and she asked us to wait for another 2 weeks and then go for a scan if the fetus is alive then we will go ahead or ....

After 2 weeks we found that the baby was doing fine and doc was happy that she had asked us to wait. Both of us had no words to express with the news. We are glad that we did not go according to the first doc's advise. I was given hormonal injections to keep my baby secured and went through scanning regularly till the 7th month. I delivered a boy baby. (We were expecting girls since both of us love girls.)

Today my son is 14 yrs and he is a gem and when we are glad that we went for the second opinion.

When I walked out of my marriage in the UK, I returned to India without any proper job in hand. I was determined to take a new profile just to keep myself good about me. A better profile, a better job. I was on stress relief medicines and anti-depressants for 4 months. I used to only sleep eat and sleep. Despite this I gave interviews and I changed my profile successfully. I took the job and left to the US immediately. Since then I have traveled twice this year.

I went ahead an purchased my second car and an apartment. Ofcourse without the support of my family this would not have happened.

One's strength lies in emerging successfully from all odds. The weakness lies in exploiting others. I have never ever exploited anyone. This makes me proud.

You are what you want to be and your life is how you want it to be without compromising your integrity and self-dignity.

Ansh,
Thanks for asking.
If the title was to share about the things I am not proud of....I would have been the first :rotfl:rotfl
Guess, I am still in the phase of rectifying or coming to terms with not so proud moments of my life and waiting for results!!


One thing for sure, I admire your attitude towards life :bowdown:bowdown
I was never in a situation like yours, but can only imagine the predicament you were in when you had to deal with a physically ill child and mentally ill husband that is not willing to get help for the child.

Needless to say, you did the right thing.

Will surely contribute to this thread at a later date.

I guess its too early for me to say if I am proud of it but definitely happy about it though. when my IL's visited us during my pregnancy, my MIL told us we were unorganised and we will have a hard time managing the baby. She also suggested me come to India for the full post partum period. suggestions became more intense(involving everyone around us) and we were pressurised. But I took it up as a challenge. After my parents left me with a 3 month old I handled things well and my son is just as fine as anywhere he could have been.

 

When I first got married I was 19. Everyone was talking behind my back saying now I would never finish school as I still had 4 years to go. They all said I would get pregnant and become typical housewife. Or even worse, our 'love marriage' was full of crap and we would divorce within the first year. My mil's astrologers especially were predicting my failure.

I'm proud to say, not only will I have completed 4 years of college this December, but I'm starting my 5th year to complete my CPA. Also proud to say, dh and I will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary this January (total of 5 years together). Take that, critics! :thumbsup
