Ouch. I'm sorry.
Your husband is, of course, correct. You are unique in so many wonderful ways such that no one else could ever replace you in God's creation. Your uniqueness leaves you exquisitely different from others. There is nothing inherently wrong in being different. Statistically speaking, it is normal not to be completely normal.
Your goal should not be normalcy, but good health. With good health, you can actualize your potential as a human being and rejoice in your similarities and differences.
It is now time to discard the fallacious and caustic messages of childhood and interpret them through the eyes of an adult.
What is normal for YOU?
I am quite sure that you and I are different, and will remain so for the rest of existence. Thus, one or both of us will never be normal. I can say with certainty that I am NOT normal. (People often tell me that they have never met anyone quite like me). This leaves open the possibility that you ARE normal. Yuck.
