I started out back in 2001 as HurtingBadly, in reference to the bomb that was dropped on me. My husband had already been in MLC for around 2 years at that time.
As time went on, I gained more knowledge, my marriage started coming back together, I changed my screen name to HeartsBlessing; still using the same initials.
HeartsBlessing to me means "blessing for/to the heart."
I have tried very hard to live up to that name in real life.
When I came back in February of this year after being gone for around 8 years, I was surprised to see the name was still available, AND I was able to create my OWN password for it. I had been uncertain about that, as in the old days, you had letters/numbers assigned to you by the board, and I didn't have that password anymore.
But, everything happens for a reason.
Remember, as each person is different, every MLC/Transition is different..what works for one may not work for another. Most of the time it is trial and error for ALL involved.
