I have learned a lot from you, even as we have gone down this road at the same time.

Thankfuly, i think I am finally catching up to you Bud.

Thanks. Sometimes I don't even know if what I'm doing is the right thing, but I know I'm doing much better than a few months ago. As much as this $ucks, I guess the silver lining is that someone can learn something from my sitch. I wish my W was more "normal" (for lack of a better term) so there could be a chance of things working out, but she's got some huge issues to deal with that I can do nothing about. Kust gonna keep focusing on me and the kids and do my best to give us the best possible life we can have after we make it through all this...

And thank you to all of you for your support during this. I'm a big boy and can deal with what I've been dealt, but I really feel bad for the kids. I know they struggle more than they show. I appreciate all the comments about me being a good dad. I do my best, but still feel like I can't do enough for them sometimes...
