My Own Foolishness
I know that ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to get married and raise a family. That has been one of my obsessions. The problem for me has been that I never knew how to go about finding a husband. I didn't know how to have a romantic relationship. How do couples interact at home? I grew up in a single-parent household, with my father living far away and offering no contact. My Aunt Charlotte lived with my mother, sister, and I and was like another mother, but she could not fill the father figure role. I blame being raised in the Seventh-day Adventist Church for a lot of my problems. I was raised in a very conservative home and church, and I was told to follow many rules. I was therefore determined to find a Nice Adventist Guy to marry. I had it all planned out. I would find my Nice Adventist Guy who kept the Sabbath, believed in Ellen White, who was most likely a vegetarian like myself, who didn't expect me to dance with him, etc. We would go to church every week...
