Hello friends: I made a one of the most difficult decisions of my life some time ago, and followed through this week. I ended my ten year relationship with my partner, after being unhappy for quite some time. It felt more painful to stay in it than to leave it, although the leaving is very painful to feel and to watch. We have a daughter, so I hope that both of us can keep her as the main focus of our energy and efforts. I am asking for strength, guidance, and support, and prayers for a watchful eye on our daughter for her to be okay when all is said and done. I have been hesitant to reach out in this way, because I don't like to ask others for help, but I consider you all as friends, I have learned so much about myself here, with all of you, and I really need you and your energy. Thank you for all that you do here. Peace, Vanessa
