You guys are the best. I appreciate the positive spin that we can put on each other's situations.
My house is vacant right now! My x and daughter were living there until the nut job got the idea to move into NYC and clear out the contents of the house. Right now I pay the mortgage in lieu of child support.
Living with my buddy has enabled me to be closer to friends and family which really helped me get through this nasty little situation.
So I guess I just have to be patient and be appreciative for what I have.
