    • About Me

      New here to DS to make friends with people going through similiar situations as mine. Seperated for a few years but not sure if I am ready for the Divorce but wondering how much more can I take. I'm a wife at times, a mom always, a sister a daughter and a friend to many. Trying to learn my strengths and how to love myself and figure out what it is that is really going to make me happy again....
