Divorce Is Not For Losers

“Every woman that finally figured out her worth has picked up her suitcases of pride and boarded a flight to freedom, which landed in the valley of change.” ― Shannon L. Alder Sometimes, I feel that women create their own hell and then take permanent residence within its confines. The…
