Dear Jodigirl,
I know how you feel, My ex cost me everything i own. just stole it. But because of a piece of paper it was Legal.I think if you look at it this way like i do. They do it because we keep letting them. I am no differnt,we wrap ourselves in this Love we feel, but we are alone in that blanket.
Hang in there, your not alone trust me. Maybe all you need is to change the rules a little but in your favor this time.
Wishing you he best,
Rich G.
