RTG, you doing okay?
Here is my story. I was married, to what I thought, a wonderful woman for 15 years. I came home from work one day and everything in the house was gone. As I am trying to assess the situation there is a knock on the door. It was a police officer serving me with divorce papers. Hell she took everything the house and it was too late to catch my banks open. The next morning I hit the banks that we had accounts with. Only to find out that all the money had been withdrawn by her. She had planned it, the bills at the house were in arrears. As I said all I did afterwards was drink and pop pills. My parents found me on the bathroom floor one day in a pool of vomit. I was having a hard time accepting reality and literally was killing myself without pulling a trigger. I got sobered up thanks to Mom and Dad. But still life sucked.......I blamed myself for the break-up and my world was shattered. But slow but sure things came to light.
Just hang in there my friend. These are the kind of things that define who we are.
PS.......dont make the same mistake I made. I should have went after my kid but didnt.
