[QUOTE="Sue192, post: 1961845, member: 439516"] Big hug, [USER=488270]@SlimLizzy[/USER]. You say that there are people in far worse situations - that is of course true, but you are not in their situation and they are not in yours, and at this point in time you are struggling between a rock and a hard place.
