Sweetie- about the class- right idea, wrong class! Computers, drafting, co-ed sports! Look in on the classes before you sign up! Certain classes have a preponderance of one sex or the other. Had one dude admit once he took "Women's History" to meet gals! It worked! He also got an "A" in the class for providing a "male" viewpoint! lol

Now about the self esteem, Whew! I got it too! My Dad was absent much of the time (sub duty in the Navy) and Mom was a bitch on wheels- alcoholic, bipolar, promiscuous, talented and beautiful. She did a number on my head. I know intellectually I am brilliant, talented in many ways and do a job better than most. Emotionally, it's always "Am I good enough?"

So I have turned it around! I am remarkably reliable and competent! I watch each detail. My bosses love me! So I can tell that nasty little voice "SHUT UP! I'm doing it right!" I know it will always be there, but I am more than it is! I will not let it rule me! Take your power back!

I remember all the shit that has been done to me. Not to make me bitter, but to remind myself that I have survived it ALL! You have survived this guy. You are examining your reasons for being with these guys- EXCELLENT! Now "shut the door" on that fool and get on with your life! - Granny:hippy:
