Well oxymoron's exist because of a nugget of truth within.. or so my twisted mind likes to think.
I'd love to see the show. When I took my singing lessons from the top rated guy, he had me singing all these songs that were about a man leaving a woman, betrayal, loss. I was like.. Hellooo.. I'm living this and I have to SING about it, too? I learned what an incredible release it was to vent the emotions through song. It takes you to a higher level. Although it may be painful, in the end that show may be the best tonic for your son. By the way, if your wife still moving into the cottage near him? Could be bad form.
About the hard ass advice. I'm giving what I found so helpful to receive during my painful time. And as I share it, I understand it so much better.
Preparing the house for market is a pain in the patookie.. but what a great feeling it is to toss crap out, especially once the ball gets moving. If it feels wrong to ask her to help, don't. Ask your kids, friends to lend a hand now and then. Heck, I'd even volunteer. It is sooo much easier to toss other peoples crap then my own!
You're a great guy.. keep those great strides going!
