Hey brother. I was done here for the night...about to log off and saw you updated. You have hung on, logged in, and helped me when I was down and out more then once. I know you want to give up, but I also know you don't. Nothing here is about giving up. This place, where you have proven yourself, is about fight.
Why do we fight? We fight for self. We fight for children. We fight for spouses.

Assuming all here got married at some point...we all took a vows. In my experience they did not fully hit me me at the time. I did not have a Christian wedding, but there were elements of similar meaning. My W and I summed it up..."a promise (engraved inside her ring)...to never leave home again (inscribed inside my ring)"

I don't know if those vows, whatever they read like, whatever they were, are ever repeated in our heads enough. I did not even want to get married, but I did, and here I am in fully ironic glory. Don't loose sight ForGump. What matters to the future is how you behave, right now, right here. You have you my friend, and your kids are watching. Their father is a strong man who will be damned before he goes out on his knees. You have already proven that...here and there, wherever it is that you are on this earth.
You do not have to continue with anything you do. Just make sure whatever you do, it is for you; it is ForGump. You got 10 reads for every post here on average. More people look to your story than you get back, so the onus of responsibility is for you to keep giving back.Do not sheath that sword yet my friend, you are a fighter. This fight is not for her, this fight is for you.
