To elainer12. Since you are deep in your distress over your past, that is t'shuvah (turned around). You are already repentent. Therefore, God is with you in your repentence, and, so to speak, already in the process of forgiving you. The next part of t'shuvah is to live your life in accord with God's teachings. Study. Prayer. Acts of kindness. (The last one is really healing).
The thing NOT to do is get stalled in guilt and not live.
How can any of us live a life without making mistake after mistake. Theater of the Absurd (and maybe Woody Allen) would say this whole thing is one big mistake.

@shmerdloff Thank you for your words of support and healing. Sometimes it is difficult for me to know how to act with my husband and sons. When my husband gets angry about something, I try to listen. With my son, who goes on and on, my therapist advised me to set boundaries by saying it’s not helpful to keep talking like this and end the conversation. This is all very emotionally painful for me. I have thought about leaving them but I have no other family or friends to turn to and my physical health is not good enough and I don’t have sufficient financial resources. Is there a way for me to find inner peace and still stay with my husband and try to be a mother to my adult sons?
