to everyone here. I've been here since 2009 but had to change my id due to my exah brother finding me here. I'll be honest and say I didn't like it here much at first. The advice I got was honest and hard hitting and seemed too much like hard work. I struggled with some of the opinions but I persevered and read and read and gradually came to see what had been said to me was true and from it I learned a way forward and learned how to work on my issues, deal with my codie ways and become a individual person again.

Fast forward to now. Am happy, independent and my issues are still a wip but I don't let things defeat me or grind me down. I have a wonderful boyfriend but the best part of realising how far I'd come is when he told me a few days ago he will probably be moving thousands of miles away for good in October ( over 2 years of being together) I did not fall into a heap. I was so cool with it he is now saying he doesn't want to leave me (and if he does I will be OK.) The old me would have disintegrated. The old me would have cried and thought what is wrong with me? The new me sees it as his loss. So a big thank you my SR friends.
