I lost my family home (my grandpa's house from when I was young) to foreclosure.
I incurred ridiculous debts.
I went from a six figure income to about half of that so I could be with my kids more while still having the same bills.
I got the certified letter from a creditor that scared the crap out of me.
I filed for bankruptcy a month ago because it was all too much.
My point..... don't think we won't understand or know where your at buddy. Hell, most of us on here deal with teh financial destruction of our lives along with the personal loss. It is normal and hard as hell to deal with alone. Use your people buddy......

Ian..
How to you say something that is embarrassing, even to people that you have never met, but feel as though you have known for a life time.
Losing your Grandfathers house must have been devastating. I can't even emagine that loss.
That truly speaks volumes of what type of father you are and are willing to give up/give for your children.
It wasn't the fact I didn't think you guys would understand, it was the last bit of self respect I had left through all of this
Mike thanks again for taking time out of your day with your family and D to check up on me...
I believe I made a promise months ago. I would be with you to the end. My phone is on always. You have my emails both work and home. You have my work number.
I make a promise I keep it. I'm like that "old yellow lab" on the front porch Brian, I'm always there eating your food, crapping in your yard, never causing problems..LOL..I'm your friend for life man..
I hope I helped.
Mike...
Yes you did make that promise, I am not one to take advantage of something even in my M, I have taken things for granted yes, but never taken advantage of it, her, or my friends I am a giver not a taker.
As long as you don't crap on the porch...LOL
Friend for life, you had better watch out saying something like this, you might just wide up opening the door one day and find a yankee redneck standin on your porch...
I hope one day when this all done to be that "helluva man" and be it proudly with my family standing beside me...
Brian
I hope so too. You are an amazing man. Don't ever doubt it.
Hugs.

Thank you darlin, but I just realized something when I read your post to me I am not 'there' yet or I would have said my family in front of me...for they do come first
