KDU, I just read your story and I have to hand it to you, you are doing so well. Makes me proud to be a fellow Aussie It is great when you see instances of DBing working.
Not sure what you look like but when I read your post, I keep thinking of that cartoon: Kim Possible! (can you tell I need to GAL rather than watching toons on Sat morning)

Stay strong, that boy is going to come crawling back, it's only a matter of time

Smile, it makes people wonder what you are up to!
