Hi Corinna,
Thanks for sharing with us your story. One thing for sure (smile), you have friends in all of us! All our stories are different in how our lives have hiked up and down, turned right and left, and then off trails into forests where we stood alone away from the lives most others live.
Corinna, you have been through so much that none of us can say we understand because we ourselves never walked down your trails in life. But, allot of us have had difficult trails in our own ways. One thing for sure is that you have friends in us to open up with. Hopefully with your experiences you will be able to help us all as we give you support also. Here we can all open up about feelings and thoughts we hide from allot of others. Sharing your story here will help others in the group more than you realize! Because you opening up to us helps us to realize we aren't alone in this world. Becoming more involved in the group will help you not only to feel you aren't so alone, but that you have friends who will listen to you and not judge you in anyway (smile). Thanks for sharing your story with all of us in the group (smile). Take care, keep a smile on your face!
Steve
