Again, thanks so much for the warmth of your welcome and words of encourgement, it's comforting to know I'm not the first person to experience these feelings, in fact, there's more people out there than I realised! It's good not to feel so 'unique' in the experiences I've had, it gives me strength to read of the way many of you have overcome your past life and I hope to follow the same way.
I look forward to spending a lot more time on this board. Thanks
