Hi Bruiser and welcome!

Your name makes me smile . I teach on a reserve and there is a Great Dane that visits me each day...his name is Bruiser and I call him my gentle giant. He comes up to my elbow

I am sorry for the troubles you are going through right now. There are so many supportive members here and we all have big shoulders. I am now a single mom with 2 boys after a long term relationship breakup(common law - 5 1/2 years) so I understand how you are feeling. We are all here for you.
