9. And at great cost to herself. She was in an impossible position, where whatever

she chose was going to bring hardship.

I'm just glad she chose the path that allows her to be physically safe and take care of herself. In many ways, it was the harder path to choose.

What a horror. And she's only 24. She's just a kid. And the whole world is judging her crisis. I could never have handled that at that age.

She made a good decision.
