Ah, but YES!!!
Your post should be required reading for the "I'm so lost" first time posters. Stuff DOES change for the better. Even if just a little bit at a time. That is the message those who are still crippled need to hear. Over. And over. And over again. No matter how dark and relentless life is now, and what huge struggle it will take, life WILL change for the better.
You go girl!
