About Me
My husband and I made it to our 3rd anniversary, then he decided to leave. Our divorce was final on July 15, 2008. I'm struggling with depression, grief, crippling anger and the loss of all my dreams and hopes. I'm the mother of a 4 year old boy who has serious behavior issues. Life is very stressful for me and it's taking its toll on my spirit and my health.
