I think I earned my degree in experience alone. Also I wrote an advice column here locally and also when living in Illinois...I really believe that if thought about HONESTLY, really being honest with "ourselves" we know the answers, and would be able to handle our problems well on our own but unfortunately too many of us think of the kids, the impression it might make, finances (important one) our relatives, God, being alone in our old age and this and that and on and on and our happiness ends up taking second place to all those things...There are no easy answers. One solution does not fit all! [Roll Eyes]
