Good to see you're still here posting. Life does go on...it has to. These things mean a lot more to us than they do to anybody else. Before your situation began, when you heard stories of separation and divorce among others, you probably didn't dwell on it or even think about it too much. It was just an event (unfortunate as it was) that happened in the course of things. That's the same way that most people look at our situations...it's just a blip on the radar screen. We are the only ones that it means a lot to! We have to get to where (with the passage of time and some work) it becomes nothing more than a blip on our radar screens.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
