Am I bitter? YES! Any advice from anyone? I'll be posting here a lot now.  |
Very sorry to hear about your misfortune. A similar thing happened to me many years ago - and when I finally got my act together I began to see it as an opportunity to do some of the adventurous things I'd thought were too risky before. I ended up travelling and working abroad and I've since been grateful for what seemed like a disaster at the time.
I wish you all the best and I'm sure things will work out well.
