I wanted to say to you that I hope you stay strong- I DO understand what you are going thru- I have been there.
Friends are the rock you can lean on at any time!! Just remember that nothing is ever so bad that you need to take drastic steps, you are stronger than that and I hope you the best!! If ever you need an impartial ear- let me know- I will do whatever I can.
We Love you !!!!!
