When I was out on my own, I withdrew from much lesser constraints than Deborah did. Over the years, I have slowly built a foundation of many different spiritual avenues that sustain me. I don’t know Deborah personally, but I am proud of her, and happy for her. She has made a huge impact by example and by reaching out and helping others in similar situations. BRAVA!
