Hi Jim. Agree with Sotto completely. On the text you sent I would say you did the right thing. It' was not needy. It was your thoughts and you expressed them. You did it for you and not for an agenda or outcome

It's such a sad thing and I don't know anyway to go through it but through it

Can you picture Jim happy again. Properly happy It will happen Jim Every thing has a time line and this crap is the same. It will end and Jim will emerge the other side.

Your post re the gift your children where has stayed with me Your a clever man and you will be a great guy in your next R

Take care mate. Positive thoughts heading your way. Rd
