Hi Wannabe
I've not been here in a while but I saw that things are tough right now. I've seen you face more in the last couple of years than most people do in a lifetime, so I know that you are one of the strongest people around. I hope you're managing to take some time for yourself so that you can stay strong, and that you are able to ask for help when you need it. I know there are many people on this site who would help you however they could in a heartbeat, so lean on us, or anyone else you can.
Post on here when you're ready and not before.

Thank you so much for all your replies,messages and texts.
It's been far too long to know what to say. I'm still breathing though. I guess that's a good start.
Thank you again

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
