Impending Divorce

Well, yes.

Unfortunately he seems to be in a fragile state right now, and I'm sure he took a couple of the comments as more bullying (for the record, I don't think they were bullying comments, just a little harsh, caused by a lack of understanding of the situation). I'm certain that no real harm was intended.

I am moved by the nature of the people on this forum. It is almost unbelievable that there is such an outpouring of support to a stranger online. The people who created the culture of this site should be very proud of themselves.

SD Steve , please come back to us.

 

There are no truer words.

 

Sad but true.

Can't help if it isn't wanted.

 

No, I think Steve wanted help but as someone said, he is in a fragile state of mind at the moment. I just hope he isn't drinking heavily because he misunderstood some things; and that may be why he hasn't responded to PMs and such. I am worried about him as I would be about any other person going through what he is going through; I don't need to know him personally to care about him.

 

Alcohol is a strange drug, it stimulates the areas of the brain that are the most active. If you are depressed and drink it makes you more depressed. If you are happy when you drink, it can stimulate that happiness. I don't know anything at this time but I am concerned about him with the drinking and the family situation.

 

No doubt...you tried Brother!

 

SD STEVE has not been on since monday.

 

This has still been on my mind; I know when you start a conversation with someone they get an email but he could just be ignoring those emails. However, we did reach out to him and that is all we can do I suppose. I sure hope he tries to get help. His marriage is probably over anyway but hopefully he can salvage the relationship with his children.

 

Hopefully things work out for him.

 

Its got to be tough.
I went through a divorce and it wasn't my choice it was hers so that made it hard on me ; hard enough without the booze involved.

I guess everything happens for a reason I guess.

Hopefully he is able to get through it.

 

My ex wanted out ; not me since I did love her it was rough and she did give me a son I would have not had otherwise. That to a certain extent backfired , he has since grown up and well ,for the most part just like Dad. LOL .

We were married 13 years and dated for quite a while before that.

Then met my current wife , not looking for any type of relationship and swore never again ; well that theory went down the tube. Coming up on 17 years with #2 . Can't believe it but it is true. Get along great , she doesn't break my chops and lets me do pretty much whatever I want to do. I consider myself very lucky.

Steve , if you are out there hang in there man. Go easy on yourself and don't give up.

 

Myself and others put ourselves completely out in the open for you. WeldrDave went above and beyond. Please come back and let us help you. This will kill you or make you kill yourself. You have to get better for the kids. Life is worth living.

 

i wish him all the best.and pray he is ok.

 

You don't sound like a hard a$$ at all. (Do you think your post will get reported? )

Some people lead sheltered lives in a make believe world, thats all.
