Still NC - Trying to move forward

[CWOL]

I"m sure I"ll come up with something insightful but I'm in full pity party mode at the moment and so the only answer I can come up with is that when something goes bad in my life, watch out, because EVERYTHING is going to go bad. (the last guy I loved left me right after my parents separated and now this right after my mom dies.)

My experience is the opposite. Things were finally gelling for me, I was doing great at work after bouncing around for a few years, found a place with excellent work/life balance for the last three years. Got the company back to profitability. My son was doing great as well, getting straight-A's in school, and doing really well in his sports, particularly pitching in baseball.

Everything was coming together, then I caught my WW and my life came crashing down. Now those accomplishments seem meaningless in the light of things.
