How many of you women out there had to struggle to get what you wanted?

What I mean did any of you women have to struggle for a place in society and still struggle to keep your place? I had to struggle for me. I grew up in a family that did not encourage me and did not want to help me make my way. I had to do it myself. I have gone on my own special journey when I came to live in Israel and am still finding my place. How about you out there? Are you still figuring out your place?

Yes I did have to but I am strong. I had only one son and no help whatsoever in life. From family or no one. We made it though. I often took my son to work with me when I had to. We were homeless a lot.

@Courage7 I understand very well. I learned how to survive and be independent but would have wanted love which I did not get except from my grandfather.

@Hannihar Thank you Hanni. I am too, but as I say, hardship and surviving it can make you stronger.

I went on my own in my early twenties to live in another city and province. Never regretted it.

@FayeHazel Actually Faye it is not another country at that. It is my Homeland and it was time for me to go home. Thank you though. Even though this is my country, I did have to start all over again as an adult and it was very hard and still at times hard,

I guess in a way I have had it easier than most but you still have to do the work if you want to succeed.

@ethal2018 Robin, if you need to vent you can always write me a private message. I know how you feel. The only one I had in my family that ever accepted me was my grandfather and I felt he was gone from me too soon. It is nice to know that you feel good here and feel like this place is family.
