I'm sorry you have to be here but under the circumstances it's the best place for you to be. Lots of love and advice from people who have been there. You're about to be overwhelmed with info. So far it sounds like our situations are very similar. I blogged about my experience at www.iwishihadbetternews.blogspot.com

Best of luck to you! I'm sure we will talk soon.
