N - I WROTE YOU A NICE POST LAST EVENING AND - POOF - IT WAS GONE! So I'll try again It sounds like you mmade that decision, and you really need to stick to your guns no matter how much she says she's sorry, or beg and pleads with you. I know it'll be tough on both of you, but you have to do this for YOU MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH! You can't be playing constant nursemaid, etc, etc, espeically when there is rarely any gratitude and, in fact, you get b*tched at constantly!

You probably would have done this sooner, but she was sick, and you were going thru alot with Mr X. Now it's time for YOU! ! ! You need to get yourself back into good health all around, so that you can try to live 'the best life' that you can! Gosh, I sure wish I could come visit you in AZ - that would be nifty!

Take care of YOU now - you know you deserve it, and it's about time!

Gentle hugs, Jacquie
