Oh no. It is goooood. Trust me. It is coming out now for a reason. I have very little hope for this M. But, if there is hope, this is the narrow path that may lead to it.
If not, seriously, I am ready to move one. I'm not saying there will never be tears, but I would way rather be me than him right now. I'm clean, I'm lucid, I've hit the wall and bounced back...he doesn't know which way is up and he has some other chick in the middle of it now.
As far as I'm concerned, it sucks to be him.
Sorry for your news, but you seem to be handling it well. And yes, nothing but down side for him.
