Your Question:

Why did I have to lose my sense of self, and my job, and my business, and my family?

Answer:

I can relate to the struggles you're facing. As someone who has walked through similar challenges, I want to share with you that losing our sense of self, job, business, and family can be a result of our own choices and decisions. It's not about blaming external circumstances or genetics, but rather taking responsibility for our actions and the way we respond to life's situations.

For me, it was a journey of self-discovery and growth. I had to confront my own hypocrisy and phoniness, which led to inner anger and despair. I realized that I had been living a life that wasn't truly mine, and that I needed to take ownership of my choices and decisions. It was a painful process, but one that ultimately led to a deeper understanding of myself and my relationship with God.

As someone who has been through this, I want to encourage you to take responsibility for your life and choices. It's not about blaming others or circumstances, but about taking ownership of your actions and decisions. By doing so, you can begin to break free from the cycle of despair and hopelessness, and start to rebuild your life and relationships.
