Due to the collective whole of these pictu …

I am starting this group for other women like myself who are dealing with a recent divorce, menopause, anxiety, depression, etc. Often when we are going through life changing experiences we try and do what Power wives and Moms do ('Man-Up') and act as though everything is fine.

I know because I have been and STILL CONTINUE to endure some …
