juju, I'm so glad you were able to use the information, experience and wisdom on this site to figure out your own situation and take action promptly instead of waiting around for years while you got more and more worn down, put down, worn out, and generally messed up.
garnet, I'm glad you were able to see your way clear and make your own changes, too.
Kudos to both of you--hoping you keep us posted on what life holds for you in the days to come!
