Frank is beginning his recovery

[mcojh]

Hmmm....I would think you've had enough of trying to be someone's "hero".

Those were unrealistic expectations that your wife made you feel you had to live up to because she couldn't remove herself from the role of a victim who needed a "white knight" no matter the cost to him (YOU) personally...

Just be a man, Frank.......

Unless, of course, you don't think being an ordinary man is good enough...

That's it exactly Amy. Heros do not "try" to be a hero. It just happens. You are also right that the White Knight thing won't work. Being the "Ordinary man" is what all of us need to be. The stable rock that a familiy's foundation is built upon is the greatest accomplishment anyone could aspire to.

PS Frank, I pictured you standing on your porch belting that song out. It was a very troubling visual......
