Hi, allyn Let me share to you some advice I've given over the years to folks that faced a situation like yours. He he, although I am a feng shui consultant by trade I actually wear a lot of different hats when people come to me for advice.

It is indeed sad that your marriage didn't work out. Yet, let this experience not make you lose interest in love, in trusting again your heart and most of all not to make your heart turn cold against Him.

It is indeed depressing that folks that you considered as family see you as someone just out for their money. I for one go with those who advised you to move on. Time will heal that wound and maybe this will be a turning point in your life towards marked success.

Per professional experience, people who undergo such an event in life can either become wrecks or heroes. The choice is yours.

Take note that life is a cycle of changes. If you know the tai chi symbol (its that black and white circle in the South Korean flag) it demonstrates that in every success there is that possibility of failure which is why the white field has a black spot. That in failure there is always that chance towards success - why the black field has a white dot.

Focus yourself first in making yourself strong again and search for that direction that will take you to success. Forget for the meantime your ex- and his family. Don't communicate with them not unless you have someone there whom you have been really close and knows who you really are.

Should you require a different kind of input to help you find what path to take feel free to drop me a note. I'll gladly do a life chart reading for you for free. I'll be needing your exact birthday, birth time and birthplace though to give an accurate reading.

Be strong. Not just because you are a Filipina but because you can become something which everyone can truly be proud of.
