OMG, I just saw how Alex died. I had to rewind it several times, cos I kept screaming - I couldn't believe it. I actually shed some tears - Damn, that was tragic.
Overall, I got tired of these women "wanting to prove something alllll the time..."
As a strong & independent woman myself, I think you should accept help when offered, it does not diminish your independence.
Proving is actually a sense of insecurities.
