Laureen, by the time you read this the worst will be over. You won't recognise my name, but I'm 'Darkginger' on the newsgroups (might remember me on a.s.d.l-c from a couple of years ago, since when I can't seem to post!)
Anyway, just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you, and wishing you all the best. You're one feisty lady, and I'm sure this is the key to a brighter life ahead for you.
Stay strong.
Jo
