  1. Tina helped me get thru an unexpected divorce. What love’s got to do with it. Really inspired me. Her abuse she endured with Ike. I saw myself in her pair shoes. I had abusive spouse that acted like Ike. She got it together for herself and so glad she did without him. I followed in her footsteps alone and happy.
