I'm out of the abandoned house project 

Elise, when I was 40, I made a big life decision to get divorced. I was second-guessing my choice, but I knew things couldn’t go on as they were. I called my Grandma, and she said, “ Honey, you are young enough and beautiful enough for your fresh start”. Those words were like a bright shaft of sunlight pouring out of a break in the clouds. She was right. It took about a year, but I got that fresh start. I’m going to say this to you, Elise: “ Honey, you are young enough and beautiful enough for your fresh start”. You aren’t a failure. You tried something, it didn’t work, and you’re moving on with your life. You shed your old apartment with the moldy bathroom, and now you’re going to shed the excess things that are holding you back, and I know there is something amazing just waiting for you to turn the corner! The clothes are just things. Your health and your happiness and your family are priceless. I am super proud of you! For anyone else reading this who could use a little gentle encouragement, my Grandma had her fresh start at 85 years old, lived another 7 years in great contentment and peace, as the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known. It is never too late to be young enough and beautiful enough for your fresh start.

Those of us who are a lot older than you are were never comfortable with the dad buying the house, but I know that we are so sorry that your relationship suffered the way it did, and that you were treated so badly. We all know, though, how much you’ve accomplished in your young life, and you will continue to do well.

I am old enough to be your grandma. YOU are not a failure. the ones who made you feel as though you had to call your family to escape in the middle of the night with your belongings are the ones who failed you. crying IS allowed. it is a pressure release for the tension, sadness, and grief you are feeling. stick close and lean on your family and friends. you got this. you are the sun and this event is just a mere eclipse. you will be shining bright before you know it

When people show you who they are, believe them. Hold your power close to you.

Bless your heart! I’m 65, and I’ve come to accept that life is a rollercoaster ride in the dark…all we can do is hold on tight and pray that there are some smooth tracks ahead! You haven’t failed at anything! You saw a unique and special opportunity, and you grabbed for it! If you want to grow and develop, that’s what we do! No matter the outcome, it’s more about the journey & what it teaches us. Give yourself time to grieve and time to heal, and never stop grabbing for the next adventure!💞🙏🎄

Maybe I’m cynical, but I had a bad feeling about the abandoned house. The people involved seemed to be taking the power and initiative you had about building/finding a home for yourself away from you. A situation like that diminishes you, and I’m glad you got out so quickly. The speed of things falling apart so quickly can feel like whiplash, but it’s a sign of your strength, not failure or a weakness, that you got out so soon. I hope when you’re ready you can move forward and create the home you always dreamed of for yourself.

It doesn't sound like YOU are a failure but someone failed YOU! Things will get better I promise! It just takes time. 😘

I had a bad feeling from the get go but was hoping I was wrong. Always make sure stuff is in your name. And frankly don’t trust ppl who aren’t family. So glad you didn’t get rid of your little cottage for them

So glad you are letting your family help lift you up during this difficult time. It is not a sign of weakness to get out of an unhealthy situation, but shows a strength in character and that you are a survivor. One day at a time.

All the best Elise ♥️ I left my home for a partner and found myself alone and homeless. This was 5yrs ago, now I’m living ‘my dream’ in a cottage in the forest. I love it here and I wouldn’t be here if things didn’t happen the way they did as painful as it was at the time. You got this girl 🙏🏻

I don’t think I’m alone in saying I feel almost relieved for you. You are the captain of your own ship again. So sorry for the heartbreak though ❤

Everyone in these comments is so amazing. I wish I had you all on speed dial to motivate and reassure me when things don’t go well the same as you are doing with Elise. When I have my next setback I’ll be sure to come back to these comments and read them as though you are speaking to me. Bless you all and Elise, like a very wise man once said, every setback is a setup for a comeback. You are going to be alright honey ❤

You're an amazing woman Elise. You've accomplished so much in your 20s. You will continue to evolve. I'm sorry you are hurting right now. 🥺

If the break you had to make had to be done in the middle of the night, very quickly, with the immediate help of your family, that is conclusive proof that you have made the absolute right decision. You have made the right decision. Take all the time to process things that you need. It may not feel like it right now, but this is the beginning of being in a good place and it is so great that you have such a lovely family who are there for you as you rebuild.

I honestly had a “bad feeling” about this abandoned house. It just seemed too good to be true. Time to pick yourself up and resume reaching for your dreams, not anyone else’s, just yours. In the meantime we will all be here rooting for you. 😘

14 years ago I left a rather wealthy but soul crashing self esteem destroying life. I may not have much but it’s all mine. I own outright a tiny house 399sf & it’s all I really need. It’s absolutely beautiful & cozy that I share with my sweet little dog. I have a wonderful family & I am happy. Never settle & just keep moving forward with your dreams. You’re young, beautiful, intelligent & hard working. I have no doubts you will achieve much. ❤️🙏

I’m sad to see you suffering the loss of a dream. In my 80 years, I’ve learned that when a path I’m on ends, I will find a new one. One that’s even better because I’ve learned so much from the past ones. You are creative and ambitious. You will be just fine.

I was kind of outraged when his dad swooped in and bought the house from under you! It was a very underhand and controlling thing to do. This was supposed to be YOUR home. Wtaf 😮 I think you’ve dodged a bullet and I’m talking as someone whose dodged a few in her day ❤

I was a bit worried when his family was buying the house but you were putting in so much work (and money I'm sure). I know it may seem as if your life has blown up but better that it happens now and not later. Sounds like you have an amazing family and you have so many out here cheering you on and caring what happens to you. As many of us no longer in our 20-30s can and have attested to, when your life splits wide open, it gives you a rare opportunity to be whoever and do whatever you choose for the next chapter of your life. In the sadness and grief, I hope you can also feel the twinge of excitement at the possibilities. It will all work out and just remember--rejection is protection! Big hugs from San Diego, CA!

I would write them an invoice for every freaking nail you pulled out of their floor!I'm so sorry,big hug!

All this is clearing out of your life to make lots of room for happier things. I promise one day you will look back and say if that hadn’t happened, my life would never have been as great as it is ❤

Wow, going back and reading the comments under the original "bought an abandoned house" post was almost like looking into the future. Such a sad situation and what makes it even sadder is that it was avoidable and foreseeable to so many who genuinely care about her well being.

So sad for you 😢 never put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket..your a strong young lady..keep going beautiful x

I was concerned when you said your bf's dad bought the house. You will recover from this and will end up stronger at the end. Time to smile and find another beautiful home. We are all here to support you and cheer you on.

I discovered your channel because of your abandoned house project but I'm staying now because of you. Don't let anyone or anything dull your light. You are worthy of good things. We are all here routing for you. 💜✨

Dear Elise, As I type this, I will be the 995th comment! I've scrolled through the latest 100, and I'm thrilled to read so much love and support and encouragement for you. How wonderful! I concur: you are an amazing, independent, accomplished, beautiful, kind, and intelligent young woman. I so admire your ability to build an international business through your own hard work. You're an inspiration. I'm another "grandmother" here, wanting so much to make the pain instantly vanish. I'm also a lawyer, and I can't help but mention that you might find seeking legal advice advantageous here. Enough said. Now, please take yourself (and us!) over to the Pretty Yellow Cottage, and show us all the flowers that are dormant now. Let's all imagine how wonderful spring will be, for you and your garden. Seriously, from what I've seen, you find inspiration and comfort there. Time there will help you feel better, I think. You will be in my prayers, Elise. God bless you and your wonderful family!

You are not failing. You live and you learn. That’s life. I wish you the best 🌈🌈🌈. And as my mum says: “when something doesn’t work it’s because something better is waiting for you” 😘💜

Dear Elise: I have been enjoying your content for well over a year but I haven't commented before. I'm quite bit older. What I'd like to say to you is this: never feel that you have failed, in any way. You are an amazing bright, intelligent, courageous woman! Yes, courageous. We don't have failures, we have learning experiences. It came to me that you were meant to move forward, and I feel that you have a bright path waiting for you, whatever that will be! You are not a person who waits for life to come to you, that is certain. Your vlogs have held me up on days that were a bit hard; someday, not too far away, you will feel your joy. There is a home for you, one that is meant to be. Tonight I will say a prayer for your overall security, for peace, and for what is right to come soon. How blessed you are to have your family! Blessings are coming. Valerie

I am continually impressed by your strength and poise, Elise. Even in the most painful times, you are careful with your words and speak respectfully and thoughtfully. I am grateful you are an influencer because you demonstrate noble behavior in all circumstances. I am sorry for your hurt and your turmoil. You are not a failure! I am proud of you for stepping away from a situation that was causing you anxiety, and being open in telling us so. I pray your panic attacks ease up, and you find a peaceful space to be your creative self.

This is your New Season.

OMG! I’m only a few minutes in and I’m devastated for you!! I saw you working so hard and I wanted to keep reminding you of ‘sweat equity’! You worked so hard! I’ll have to watch til the end to find out what happened and where you are now living😢. You are too amazing to not have a comeback! Remember this from someone old enough to be your Mother…..never hitch your wagon to someone else’s dreams! Get selfish and only put your hard work and efforts into what is completely yours!! It’s not selfish..it’s self care! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Piece of advice from a lawyer: never give up on something that is on your name to be part of a common project where you are not sure where you stand with the property! Always make sure you are fully in control on the legal aspects! Alas, we are here for you and support you all the way ❤ Life has its ups and downs but you can do it! You can get on top of this 🙁 Stay safe and trust the future has something better in store for you 🤗

I am so sorry this has happened. I am 73 years old and have been heartbroken and thought nothing would ever be good again. It took some time and I survived and I would not change a thing. It was was meant to be. Your subscribers are amazing and will stand by you. Remember, you are beautiful inside and out. You are smart, talented and creative. You are strong and hardworking. You have a wonderful family. You are young and you have time on your side. And last but not least, YOU DESERVE SO SO SO MUCH BETTER!!! Prayers and hugs!

You're not failing honey, you're learning. You'll come out the other side stronger ❤️

None of us know the complete details and that is ok. I didn't like hearing about your bf's dad buying the house and thereby controlling the situation and the future of the house. Honestly, I'm not sure that he is worthy of the respect that you're giving him. What I know about you, Elise, is that every project/venture that you start, you put your entire heart & soul into, look at the transformation of your garden cottage, it's lovely. Focus on you, on healing and allow your family to be there for you. Thankfully, you still have your cottage, your business and the physical store. Allow time to guide you as to which direction you should take next, don't rush. Take care. ♥

I felt worried when you first showed the abandoned house, I thought it didn't seem your style and that you were being influenced by other people to take on this project. I wondered about the house they convinced you not to buy, perhaps that was the house for you. I regret decisions that others have made for me. You will be fine, look at how you've created a wonderful business, and the work you've done on the tiny house. Life is full of ups and downs, the good and the bad. All the best to you

Dear Elise, I’m so sorry that you are hurting. However, it does sound like you dodged something or someone that was going to cause you even more pain. Bravo to you for get out as quickly as you did and not sticking out longer, allowing yourself to be hurt further. I have been following your channel here for close to two years and you, dear Elise, have not failed. I have constantly been impressed by how strong, independent, and ambitious you have been. It is so refreshing to see someone at such a young age as you work so hard to fulfill a dream or a goal. You’ve lived on your own for many years; presumably paying all your own bills, you have run your own business both via brick and mortar store and on line, you purchased your own lot private, tranquil refuge by way of your cottage. You have done all things presumably on your ow; and, I don’t believe you’re even 30 yet! You are NOT a failure, not by a long shot. You will get through this and you get even stronger. You have a wonderful, supportive family. You are never alone. You will be happy again and eventually (if you desires) the right person will come along. I’m the meantime, focus on only you and what you need to be happy. You will get that sparkle in your eyes back soon, I know it. Take some time to process things; maybe take a needed trip to your cottage. There is so much you have accomplished and there is so much more ahead of! Don’t rush, tusk your time. You will be ok.hang in there and be strong!

Im so sorry you are going through such a diffiult time. There was something that didnt sit well with me when you shared that your boyfriends Dad stepped in and bought the house without your knowledge. One thing I have learned in my 52 years is that these difficulties usually create space for something better and for what is meant for your highest good. Sending love and hugs.

Elise, I have long thought that you are the bravest person in RU-vid land. I have so admired your energy, your attitude, your perseverance, and just the way you live in the world. Your creativity is on a higher plane. In my make-believe world, we are friends who go thrifting together! I have found it interesting that “us grannies” had concerns all along about the house project, and I always noted that when you talked about your boyfriend, you were respectful, but never had a big smile on your face as you talked about him. That’s the dead give away. I saw that smile of love and joy when you planted your garden, picked your flowers, drank your coffee in your cozy apartment or cottage, played music, and modeled your beautiful fashions. You know yourself, Elise, and that is a tremendous quality. When you say you will get through this, you are exactly right. We will all be with you.

I was so sad to watch your video today. You are such a remarkable woman, and so wise to step out of a situation that wasn’t right for you. A lot of people don’t leave. You will look back at yourself in a year and be so proud of yourself on how well you have done. Hugs!

Hi Elise, I'm Italian and the translation of the video didn't make me understand very well but I felt your malaise. I am sorry for your suffering but I am sure that after this moment you will be stronger. I've been following you for a while, I like you and the way you do. This renovation series was fascinating but in this case I have to say that I was not very convinced, I had the feeling that it was not a suitable place for you. it's a strange thought since I only know you through videos. Either way, I am happy that you are now safe and grateful for your family. Shine darling. Sending love and hugs 💞🫂😘🙏 Sorry for the google translation

My heart breaks for you….you know this might be a blessing in disguise. I’m sure it doesn’t feel this way at the moment. Be thankful you didn’t buy this home with “them”. Something better is coming your way. Focus on your health and do what makes you happy. Surround yourself with what makes you happy to get through this tough time in your life. Sending all the love and healing vibes your way. ❤❤❤❤❤

I am a mom of 3 daughters and i will tell you the same i tell them... Be a strong independent woman and buy your own stuff without any one else.. It sounds hard but it isn't, I had to do it myself and these days you have to rise up and be the Phoenix in your own story. Girl you can do it! We thankfully dont live in the 1950's and women have to make it on their own, then it wont be you that has to leave and start over 💜 all my love sent your way sweety💜💜💜

Oh Elise. This life we live is full of ups and downs. Please know that you have so many fans supporting you and although that may seem like a lot of pressure, we do not hold you to any expectations or standards. Take the time you need to heal and keep that chin up! Lots of love

You are NOT a failure! You are an EXAMPLE of what you do when your boundaries have been crossed. It’s showing us how to walk the walk. One day at a time. We don’t need the details…as much as they are different, they are the same. We all end up in this place at one point or another. Now what? Show us Queen. Show us how to walk thru the pain and disappointment. Show us how to deal with the judgment of others. Show us how to love ourselves through it. Show us how to create a peaceful, beautiful space for ourselves on a beer budget. Go ahead…we’re watching!!

We can tell you're heartbroken but I'm amazed by your attitude and how emotionally mature you are. You go girl, one day sun will shine again!!

I stopped watching you quite awhile ago when you said you wanted to travel woth this new love life. You got rid of little Luna who was such a little rock for you. I wish you had her now or the ability to visit her and hold her. Never give up pets or family. They are the ones that will love you unconditionally. Im so glad you have such a wonderful family. Like i said way back.."Christmas at the Cottage" would be lovely. Soothe yourself your heart. Drink in all the love of your family. The right one will come.

Elise, you are not a failure, you are a strong woman who has hit a bump in the road of life. I am sorry that you have been having a rough time lately and please give yourself time to heal - the cottage will help too even if you just put the woodburner on, cook up some food and curl up on your daybed with a good book. Take care of yourself. Sending love and hugs.

From Puerto Rico I say to you...just be safe and look up to the skies...God is there watching over you. You are stronger than you think.

Better now than when the house was finished and you put all the work, effort and money into it. Look forward Elise, 2023 will be your year.

It's best that it happened now and not when you had fully finished it and moved in. You will find a new place and make it yours. We all support you ❤️

Praying for you Elise 🙏🏼. I remember commenting when you first found this house that I hoped you would still have say into what's happens even though it wasn't the way you wanted to purchase it. Whatever it maybe that's happened, know that this is temporary. I've subscribed to you for years now and have watched every video you have. And in those years I have seen you grow up into such a strong, resilient and responsible woman. You wanted a boutique, so you made it happen, even bought out your business partner and it's beautiful. You got a cabin and turned it into a fairytale summer wonderland. You will get a house when it's the right time. And you're already listening to music, that's a good sign of healing. It will take time, but it'll come. And your nephew's birthday and Christmas is on the way. Something to look forward to. Take care ♥️

Better now than later !!!!!!!!!!You could have lost everything . BETTER WILL COME MY DEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥

And just like the Moon, you should go through phases of light of dark and everything in between and though you may not appear with the same brightness you are always always whole. Much love to you. You got this Elise💞

I left my family, my apartment, my company, my friends to move to my husbands country (we had lived together 5 years in my country). Long story short, the biggest mistake of my life and I had to move in with my parents at 34 years old and rebuild everything again - I'm so thankful for them but of course it stings and makes you feel lost. He took everything I owned, had inherited and my beloved dog and today it's been a bit more than half a year since my divorce went through (over a year since I applied for it) and things do get a lot better, I still have only gotten a fraction what he owes me but I'm still happy. Focus on yourself, what makes you happy, your goals and get support from your family and friends.

I watched you closely in your past several videos and seen such a sadness in you as “ You” always working so hard; and by yourself. It broke my heart for you. And, my heart hurts for you now. I’m so glad that you did what “You” knew you had to do. Keep your head up high sweetie and never feel guilty or shame. Lean on God. Lean on your family and you will persevere!!! I hate that you gave up your apartment as you seemed to love it so, but this is all part of your journey, you just are taking a different path which I pray leads you to greater things and possibilities. Your such a beautiful young lady inside/out and you will find “YOUR” perfect home and blossom even more. Your in my prayers.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, Elise. I have to say, you didn’t look truly happy the way things were going. I obviously don’t know exactly what happened, but it looked like you were uncomfortable in compromising too much of what you wanted for your life. It’s hard when you’re as independent as you are. You need to focus on everything that makes YOU happy! I so admire your hard work and creativity in everything that you love. Don’t ever lose yourself. We all have setbacks like this in our lives. You’ll work everything out and get back on your feet. It’s OK to want what you want. You need to be happy. ❤

I think watching your video's we can see what you are alluding to, signs are always there. I am impressed with how quickly you took the reins and decided to get your life back. Imagine how great things will look in two months, six months. Good for you!

You are not failing, you are learning. You are a businesswoman, and a property owner and have the ability to know when to get out and gather all people and resources together to succeed. You have a family and community that loves you. You got this Elise Buch!

Oh Elise, my heart is breaking for you. I am so sorry you are hurting. I hope I am not wrong in saying this but I am so relieved that you are getting out. I had such a bad feeling about this whole situation. I didn't want to say anything discouraging because it's your decision but I felt you deserve so much better and I was sincerely scared for you. I feel it is so much for the best that this happened now instead of later. But I am so sorry you are going through this. You have so many people supporting you here and you don't owe us any explanations. You are the master of your own life. Take all the time you need to process and heal. It's a bad place to be in when others try to control our decisions even if it seems like a good decision to make. You are so vibrant and bright and creative. When you are doing things on your own terms you just glow and we can all feel the radiance. It will take time to find your way through this but I feel you are going through a powerful transformation and you will grow a lot from it. Big hugs. It's hard going through an emotional shock. We love you.

this image of you from a year -ago and how you blossom today .. your doing great now!

We’re all behind you a million percent Elise. Take good care of yourself and I hope many healing blessings are coming your way. ❤

Feel devastated for you yet at the same time relieved that you didn’t invest anymore of your time, heart and soul into something that was not right for you and that you may not have any legal entitlement to at the end of it all. I’m so glad you still have your cottage garden which is all yours! I am sorry you had to let your flat go as you made it your own little haven even though the neighbourhood may not have been too good. But you are an intelligent, strong business woman and have accomplished so much from your own hard work, passion and determination. You have not failed at all. As we say in the U.K. “when one door closes, another one opens”. Look after yourself and stay close to your loving family that rallied when you needed them. You will get through this.❤❤

Elise, the sun will shine on you again I have to honestly say that I was concerned that you took on such a huge project with the help of your boyfriend and his father. Somehow I felt it just wasn't you. You will find your own sweet slice of heaven perhaps when you least expect it. You are young, strong and such a hard worker. Hang in there. Hugs!!!

If you never try anything, you don't grow. This is an experience in the fabric of your life that you can tell when you're old. You will look back fondly some day, I'm sure of it!!

You are not failing!!!! You are living your life and learning what you need to do to take care of yourself. Whilst it may be difficult presently, you will survive this sad, and I am sure, very frustrating turn of events. You are blessed to have your family and friends as well as a community of strangers on RU-vid who are sending out positive thoughts and praying for better days ahead. Take care!!!!🙏💛

Oh sweet Elise, my heart hurts for you. Take time for you. Grieve. Cry. Get mad. Whatever you feel is valid. Just know that you are a massively talented and spirited woman. You will always thrive. Your hard working and you grab at your dreams, there’s a big world out there just waiting for you. We are all here to pick you up Elise. We believe in you ❤

Oh Sweetie, hang in there. I will be honest to tell you that I have lived many years and know for a fact that things really do happen for a reason. And if things around you get toxic you need to disengage and make sure you don’t stay in that situation because it will affect your health. Right now just remember you are young and healthy and above all you are strong and loved. And please remember to take care of you. Much love from California USA

I am always amazed that you can see beauty in things I can’t

What a blessing. I posted awhile ago that it was a bad idea to waste your time embarking on such a project when it wasn’t even your own home to begin with. I also felt you were being taken advantage of. Buy your own home, by yourself, and fix it up. Time is more valuable than any amount of money - don’t waste yours. Best of luck!

This to will pass. Yes thank God for our family's they are our rocks.

Please look after yourself Elise. I hope you start to get your life back on track soon.

It’s not the end, it’s the beginning. A brand new start ,on your terms. All your choices. No one to answer to. An exciting new chapter. You’ll be just fine. ❤❤❤❤

Oh, Elise. You’re not a failure! You made the best decision at the time with the information at hand. No regrets. Don’t look back. You have a beautiful life, a bustling business, family, and friends. This is but a bump in the road of life. You’ll see - in a year, when you’re looking back - that things worked out even BETTER. I promise! ❤

Trust your intuition. That house was not meant for you. Something better will come along!

Oh, Elise, I just have to add my two cents even though so many here have already spoken for me. I am so moved by all the love here!! We cry with you, my dear. 😢 I’m so, so sorry for this intensely difficult process of having to let go of both your cherished dream of a new life as well as the comforting beauty of your old beloved nest, simultaneously. Fortunately, your immediate loving and supportive family is joined by your larger adoring RU-vid family. I guarantee you that while we are disappointed for you we in no way think you have failed. We see you and we understand how strong you really are, while you may not feel so right now. You are one of my top two RU-vidrs-the other being Jonna Jinton-for whom I always drop everything to watch a new video. I send you so much love!! ❤❤❤ Thank you so very much for sharing.

Please feel the love and strength I’m sending. For times when you feel you can’t use your own, we, here, have got plenty for you. ❤

You are not failing, you are learning and finding your way!

You Are not failing. You are protecting yourself. No need to explain. We are here when you return. Love and Prayers coming your way.

The great thing about life these days is women have more options to do things for themselves. You've always been independent which gives you the strength to make the right choices for you. Much love x

Oh and I have to add this to my comment. I heard this while living in Scotland. What’s for you, won’t pass you by. Just as true as what’s not for you, will!

Oh, Elise. My heart is breaking for you. I’m so very sorry that you are going through this but something tells me that if you had to pack up and leave in the middle of the night, you did the right thing. All that matters is that you are safe. Everything else will fall in place in time. Praying for you my sweet girl.

It’s sad and disturbing to know that you were in such a bad situation for longer than you ever should have been but it’s admirable that you gave it all a chance and it’s admirable that you left when you knew you had to. Sure, some people are saying they had a bad feeling from the start, but it was your journey to make and that’s your right. It hurts to see you hurting but it’s almost a relief to know that you’re out of that situation… it WILL get easier and better. I’m sad you don’t have your apartment to go back to, BUT you still have your cottage and you have such a loving and supportive family and with that you are truly blessed. Prayers for comfort for you ❤ You’ve made so many dreams come true already and I know that you’re going to continue.

I’m sorry you are going through this trauma. Thank goodness for your wonderful family. You are so brave 💕 We don’t need any details, we just hope your spirits can rebound with happiness soon!

The same thing happened to me.

I'm glad your family has been there for you during this difficult time. I pray that you will come out stronger on the other side 🙏

You are not failing ❤️ We all have these seasons. Someone shared this with me recently. “What if this painful breaking is part of a beautiful remaking?”

Oh Elise, I feel for you. I know that you are a strong, hardworking young woman and you will come through this into a brighter future. Thank you for sharing.

The most important and blessing is that you have realized early and made yourself out within months...Don't worry...have faith on your inner resources.

The way I see it, you took a chance to do something big! And you did! And now you're making a big choice to do something else! And you are! Wow. You were brave (and human)...both times. And personally, as I was going through a break-up with all of the hurt and my lost dreams, a friend said to me, "You won't always hurt this much...I promise." I promise that to you, too. Sending so much peace, love and healing from Minnesota, US. 💚 Nancy

So many of us would have loved to give you a great big hug. I think we have all gone through this type of thing in our lives, I know I have and I have felt what you felt, but look how things turned out now a year later, time does fly and alot can happen in a day ❤

I was so happy to see your face. I know it’s been terribly hard so that’s enough to know. We love snd support you on this channel. Don’t worry about us. We will be here. We hope you can move on knowing you have made the right decision and so take it slowly and thoughtfully and you will round the corner soon. 😘

Sweet, sweet Elise. You do not owe us any explanation. I am much older than you, I am 67 and I can tell you this is an experience I would not wish on anyone. I want you to know that you are stronger than you think you are, you have a wonderful family who are there for you, and you need to take each day one at a time. Please take care of you! You deserve it. I am praying for you, I am praying you recognize the strength and talent God has given you. We all love you Elise remember that! God Bless

My husband and I have been watching you for three years through the pandemic you got us a lot of joy. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and believe that only good things are coming in the future blessings to you from Dallas Texas.

You are loved by us all

This too shall pass. I can’t count the number of times I’ve said that seemingly simple statement over and over and over again throughout my life. But somehow the troubled times do always pass and you become a stronger person on the other side. Sending positive vibes 🙌🏼✨

After being with someone for 16 years (married for the last 8 yrs) it was probably the scariest thing I had ever done. With a small child I made a new life for us. I was in a very toxic relationship and I couldn't bare my son having to see and hear it every day. It was very tough and even though I had thought about it for a very long time, there was one incident that changed my life forever and it took quite a while to finally be able to fully breath again. It's hard to see that things will work out and will be better at the point that you are right now I'm sure, but I can promise you it will be better. I always teel anyone I know who is going through a divorce/break up that to remember to breath. Everyone can give you advice on how to move forward with living situations, separating items, dealing with the kids, etc but nobody ever told me to just breath. I felt like I was holding my breathe for almost a year until my divorce was done. But once I took that first full breath I could feel the weight of the world coming off of my shoulders. And then I learned that only I control my destiny and my life now, and somewhere along my journey I have found my own power again. You can do it Elise, you are a strong powerful woman who is going to do amazing things.

We love you Elise, we are all here for you ❤️

You didn't fail, the other people involved FAILED YOU: keep your head up and consider it as a lesson learned. BLESSINGS 💖

This is heartbreaking but I'm so glad that you got out before getting even more involved. You are an amazingly driven and creative person, it's gonna take some time but I can see you getting back on your feet and taking on new projects. I'm selfishly waiting for the moment you'll decide the time is right again for you to get a house of your own, and we get to come along on the adventure.
