Jenscats Road to Recovery Log

It's no wonder your depressed, Jen. You're "safe haven" - HOME - is no longer a safe haven for you. You feel like you need to be on guard and prepared to decline offers that you shouldn't have to. I'm so sorry. It has to be really tough on you. You're hangin' in like a champ though! Push back, girl!
