PortugueseSea Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I just listened to it this morning; I feel if I had found this website earlier, or videos like that, I'd be off the hook by now.

Same here but what can you do live and learn the hard way 🙄 This is why I post so much stuff because the more information that there is for people to go on the less likely it is that they will have to go through this craziness.

FeralCatman Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Thank you for the compliment but I do not do coaching. At the moment I am going through quite a lot myself and that's just about all I can do. There are however a number of people who do coach and are available.
