THIS is for all the folks I've seen here who have or are in the process of leaving a bad marriage/relationship and starting that journey towards being "happy, joyous and free", like the AA Big Book says.
A HUGE BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE to all of you!
(I originally put more clapping guys, but apparently SR will only let you use 5 smilies per post, so please feel free to multiply the clapping guys exponentially in your mind!)
