Wow! There are so many survivors on this board. I have my own issues to work through and it's been tough but I can't say I've lived through anything close to others on this board. To them I say you are in my thoughts and prayers, and know that you are an inspiration to me of survival and perserverence.
Our choices are our own, and when we choose to learn from our past and use it to enrich our lives and the lives of others, we are the masters of our own lives!
