      From Catie16 March 3

      I'm so sorry about your husband leaving. That is probably why I am not in a relationship now cause I drove them all away and I know myself enough to know I would probably cause great bodily harm to him, so it's easier to be alone for me. Just hang in there and talk and reach out. Love/Hugs Catie :)
