Two totally different types of sad. A Child Called It (sad for obvious reasons) and the Touched Series (very emotional rollercoaster of a book)

Assia Van Kessai I am so sorry that happened to you. I hope you know you are beautiful and you will find your right person someday. Your ex-fiancé just proved to you he wasn’t your soulmate or the best of you. You WILL find that someone! And when you do, you will be thanking your ex-fiancé for what he did. This pain will pass and it will only make you a stronger person. I wish good fortune for you.

Thank you soo much @Danna for your supporting words and giving me hope within this words soo thankful for you ????
