I agree 100% that pigskin has given me some great advice. That's why I prefaced my post the way I did. I hadn't heard from you in a while and value your input and wisdom. Thanks for responding even if it was only to validate what others have been saying.
I am really trying, and I knew to expect some backlash. It was so callous and vicious this time, like she really meant it was over. I know, don't mind read!

Thanks for all the input today, everyone! I am in a bad place right now as most of you have been in yourselves. I can use all the strength I can get to help me through the times ahead. It's all been gearing up towards this. Now the real work begins.
I can do it. I will be strong enough. I have to do this.
