ghm and dream, i'm so proud of both of you! it's not easy, but there does become a point when we can't handle the madness anymore. putting an offer down on a house is an amazing step!
and dream - good for you for not answering when he calls. it takes a lot of strength that you seem to have found so quickly! don't worry if you do cave in and answer... i've done it many times, hoping each time it'll stick... just get back on the horse and ride again!
we CAN stop the rollercoaster!
