Thanks for your submissions, Alice. You really went through some tough times, but now you're free and you sound awesome. Ironically, I just hosted my son's wedding at my house over the X-mas weekend. I felt like screaming, "NO!" but, hopefully, he will be happy. My oldest son is adopted and he needs the security of loving one person in his life. Hopefully, he will be able to have biological children and finally have a blood connection. I know it's important to him.

The more women I speak with, the more I find they are unhappy. However, they just won't submit their stories. I think they're afraid that if they write their feelings down, they will see how miserable they really are and have to do something about it.

Have a happy, healthy and propserous new year.
