“I had a lot of self-loathing, .. I've been self-sustained since I was 11. I've always been the one making the money, and to be flat on my back and .. so vulnerable and then be completely loved.

It's like, what was I afraid of? I'm going to get healthy now, and I'm not going to carry that baggage anymore.” PeopleChildrenSelfWifeFansMomHealthyMy WifeVulnerableMy ChildrenFlatsSupportiveLoathingBaggageSelf LoathingMelissa Author:Melissa Etheridge
