It is an opportunity to focus on yourself and decide what you want out of your life. Yes, it's painful and none of us want to go through this. But we don't always get what we want in life. You are going through it, so you can either pull yourself up and do the hard work, or wallow in the negative.

I don't really think anyone is saying we should do this regularly. They are just saying that it does happen and you can use it as a stepping stone to positive change in your life.

Life is busy and hard, but it's our choice if we want to make the time for GAL even when we aren't in crisis. We all decide what we want to prioritize in our lives.

I'm sorry you find yourself here. It's a really hard thing to deal with. This is a great community and you'll find a lot of support though. You'll probably be challenged to dig deep. That's how you grow.

Tell us more about the issues in your M. You said things hadn't been good for years, can you elaborate on that?
