Dink, sorry to hear about the additional turmoil with the family. When it rains, it pours isn't just a saying to relate to, sometimes it's a terrifying reality. You're faced with something here Dink. Bleakness, reality, fate, pain, turbulence, turmoil and maybe you can see what feels to be rock bottom. If you hit that bottom, will you take a pickaxe and dig? Will you lay down? Or, can you see what's coming, stare at it and let that wave of pain give you the energy and drive to stand up to it? Can you be the equal and opposite reaction to the hell you are facing? Imagine being the man that can conquer all this, years later, over a drink with friends telling the story. How did you get through it? Alone? With lifelines? Did random strangers on a forum help you brace the onslaught and you lead the charge against it? You aren't and don't have to be alone.

Post often, even if we are critical. Especially if we are critical. Get some solid exercise in. Heavy weights, cut some wood, punching bag. These feelings may turn to anger and taking that anger out in a testosterone filled exercise rage makes you feel alive.
