Just another reminder how important a father son relationship can be.

I can understand your use of the term excitement. For me, having to carry the weight of the house and bills on my should without her contribution is burdensome. Although I dread the thought of the kids losing the only home they've known, in some ways, I look forward to getting the gorilla off my back.

So...excitement indeed. Like many here, you may need or even want to pull back and post to others..to help them..but...we are always here for you, especially on the 'other place'.

I think that the parting shot here is that....you must get yourself to a place where you can wake up every morning and look at yourself in the mirror and know that you've done everything you could....that you stop the self-blame and victimization and grow from this. More importantly trapt, all the things you've learned here....should be like a thousand yellow Post-It Notes...plastered all over your brain...as a constant reminder for the next R that you will have in your life someday.

Strength and Honor.
