Even if it is what you want and you initiate it (like I did), it is still a painful experience. I wish you all the luck and will send positive vibes your way. I believe with all my heart that this experience makes someone stronger; and you come out the other side you are a wiser person. There is something good that comes out of this, I can promise you. You will not believe the person you will become. If you think you are a strong woman now, just wait 6 months. You won't believe the inner strength and beauty that will rise to the top.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203860590162568877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872859464374171315.post-66128177869430464092008-05-09T20:59:00.000+10:002008-05-09T20:59:00.000+10:00I'm sorry to hear this Vicki.
