Ivan - I am fairly new to the list ( about 3 weeks), but I've kept up with your situation, and I admire your determination and your strength. At this piont, you have apparently reached a cross road, and it may be wise for you to turn again to the only source who can help you. Maybe you should try to get a group together and pray, and pray and pray.
