Shelley, you are one of the nicest people on this board and would be sorely missed. I am glad we aren't missing you today!!! It is trite but true that suicide is a perm. solution to a temp. problem.
The guy-you did the good thing and dropped him-you obviously have your priorities where they belong. The things that get you down are external-your internal is wonderful, warm, funny and insightful. Don't let the outer stuff get to you. It passes, but YOU will always be you-and stupid men, stupid relative and health problems are passing. Two of them are out of your control, but you have control of your health and your life. What do we always say here? Living well is the best revenge. So live WELL, be happy and (scuse my french) F*** the b*stards. You are lovable and you need *your* love more than anyone elses.
We love you.
Shelly-The other one.
