what a very brave step -
I made my first attorney appt almost a year before I left - It gave me such peace - because I knew what I needed to do - I took my time - slowly but surely - I prepared myself the best I could mentally, emotionally, spiritually and I tried financially -
In the end, the financially didn't work out so well - but I had such a peace in the other areas - it didn't matter -
great job and doing what is best - Miracles still can happen - I have seen them in other couples - my story went one way - there is always hope yours can go another -
wishing you and your family the very very best!
pink hugs!
