it helps me understand a bit - though I can't say it makes it any easier for you. Just occaisionally I get a bit wound up and irritated about my situation; it's stories like yours that make realise that I've got it pretty easy really.... I'd love the chance to talk a bit more off line - if you could set up a suitably anonymous email account and drop me a line, that would be great. past_forgiven@ziplip.com |
