We filled out separation papers. We were divorced May 2005. Years of too much drinking, other woman and no consideration for me or his own childeren even when they would come home on school vacations. Enough was enough. * December 2004 I suffered a Major Depression. Way too much of everything. My past and present caught up with each other and it was just too hard to handel. I have had 1 year of therapy and 2 years of rehab. I will now be on disability for 2 years to come.

I hope all of you who visit this page are well mentaly and physicaly and that you have friends and family who show there love for you. P.S. I have two cats who help me get through the nights. Lucy - 3.5 years and Cleo 4 months. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! - Marti B.
