| The courage to change the things I can
Well I have finally made a desicion to leave my husband. I have found an apartment and hopefully will be out next weekend. At first I felt free, now I feel sad. I have been with Kevin for 9 years. We have been civil to each other and it looks like we can agree on things right now anyway. The drugs in this environment are hampering my recovery. I know this is Gods will, and I have faith everything will work out as it should. Please pray for me. This is a huge step and I am afraid as always. Thank-you all who have posted responces to me you don't know how much they mean to me. At times they are my servival. Mary |

Hi Mary, I'm sorry you had to make such a tough decision and I know it won't be easy. But, sometimes that is the only way and the right way. My prayers are with you and I do hope you keep posting! Love, Anna

Many, many hugs! I don't know that we ever really get used to changes like that. I find your strength to be inspiring. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck! :heart:
