dorsetmummy Report post Posted October 10, 2005 Thankyou. Most of what i say will prob not make an ounce of sense, cos i am so fed up at the moment. My life just seems one long round of stress at the moment, and i sometimes need a shoulder to cry on. And someone to understand and help me through these difficult times.
