I will start off my story by stating that I used to be an active member of this forum back in 2005. Those of you that have been on here for quite sometime, will remember me as Rhonda28. For reasons and situations out of my control, I slowly became inactive. Yet even though I was not an active participant for quite sometime, I still suggested the website to others. Just like others on here, I stumbled upon this website due to taking out numerous PDL's online.

My situation at that time was that I was working 2 jobs and going to school full time while raising 3 kids. My husband was not contributing emotionally nor financially. It was a very stressful point in my life. Now that I am focused and fully able to contribute and devote most of my time to the community, I have returned. This site helped me out with all the support that was provided by other members on the board. And I want to be able to do the same for other members.

I recently lost my job of 7 years back in October 2007. It did cause a setback in my financial situation, but it was also pushed me to do what I wanted to do for a couple of years now. Currently i am a full time student pursuing my degree in nursing hence I no longer have a full time job. I did fall behind on some credit cards, but was recently able to rectify that situation. I realized how much I missed being a member of the community which is why I joined once again. I have been separated from my husband for almost two years which drastically changed my financial situation for the better. I learned a lot just by being in that situation and being a member of this community.

My wish is to continue to learn new things and be able to help others just like this site has helped me. Very Happy

Congratulations! You are to be commended for taking the bull by the horns and tackling the difficult job of moving ahead. So many people allow themselves to get mired in their problems without much hope of bouncing back absense a change in attitude and an outlook of hope.
