I think it is amazing that you have already rushed to her side on this. Should it turn out that she was diverting, to feed an ugly habbit perhaps, she will need you more than ever. Addiction is ugly,...
Just wanted to say thank you for coming back and visiting the site so frequently. I think so many people go through these programs, succeed, and don't come back. It is always inspiring to hear from...
