Ugh, how INSANELY judgey are your church folk? Or ex church folk - that's definitely quite NOT how to interact with others in a loving way and what always gets me is that the Divine, a.k.a also known as God, would NEVER make such rules up. I'm sure he'd just say: 'Hey, act from a place of LOVE and everything else will follow, dudes!' .
I too was severely judged for being a single Mum - especially by my cousin, who felt it was irresponsible and blah blah blah. Funnily enough, I'm the one in the happiest family. xx
Sorry to hear you have had a tough January - there's a bit of it it going around, that's for sure. xx
