They seemed really negative and back-biting. I'm sure I'll probably run into that at some point. I can love those type of people, but it doesn't mean I have to hang around them.

Tina is fine. Just living with my dad now and he doesn't have a computer and the library is hard to get time at. I managed some today so thought I'd write and tell you how happy I am that you are doing better. I'm so glad that you've found a group of people with whom you feel so comfortable and comforted. It's great when you feel like you are supported and understood.
Taking a break from the whole marriage thing right now. Don't know how permanent it's going to be but I can definitely tell you that i'm doing better than I ever have. The freedom is wonderful. I do miss having a computer at my fingertips but I can schedule time here at the library once in a while and keep in touch. I have 2 jobs now just to make ends meet. Hubby used to pay all the bills and now I gotta take care of myself. It's something I've never had to do before and it's scary but also sort of adventurous. Weird huh?
Well, anyway, I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how glad I am to see you back and doing so much better. Keep up the good work. I'll be thinking about ya and sending you strength and hugs.
Luv
Tina
