Hug
hey i commented on ure journal too. That question 'how did I get here?' rings over and over in my head. We work so hard to get the life we want and watch it wash away for a myriad of reasons. I hate reading that anyone is struggling. but I suppose it helps me to not be quite as angry about my own situation. I still feel so much for you... good luck with the baby steps.
