Valentine’s
Day can be a stressful time if your relationship is in crisis.
It’s often a time to celebrate relationships, but so often
hearts and flowers have turned into arguments and recriminations
with feelings of hurt, resentfulness and anger being common place.
Many of us battle on because we feel it is the right thing to
do and often because of fear of the unknown. After all, once you
take that step to separate and start the divorce ball rolling,
who knows what life will be like!....... Click
