Welcome to the forum, @Burning Sage! You are definitely in a place where there are people who understand. I look forward to supporting you.

You sound like a strong person having dealt with such hard times. I'm glad to learn that you now have the support of SSDI. Several of us here collect SSDI, or the equivalent.
