Thankyou for your support. I'm still struggling to come to terms with this. But yes, I will be ok.
I have resisted the big urge to scream and cry that this isn't fair and to hate those responsible for causing this to be a part of my life. Fact is, this is just the way it is. I don't have to like it. I'm very scared of what this might mean for me and I've lost the little trust I had in myself. But, I will deal with it because I've come too far to turn back now.
You've all been so helpful. Lyoness, your post was great and really made me see things in a more positive light. X
