Well I think this time of year is hard for anyone who's having personal issues of any kind. I split with my boyfriend THREE times this year before I finally decided it had to be over for good... it left me single for Xmas, with my kids at their dad's. It was a very weird holiday for me because I'm still living in the same house as the guy. I'm dealing okay.. and I have had friends tell me I need to get out of here, but I am just thankful to have a roof over my head. I have no idea of what you're going through Chuck, but you know how to get in touch if you ever need someone to rant to. I think I've said that before... if not I'm saying it now.  :hug:

Lisa  :hug: It's a tough situation, especially when kids are involved.  I hope you know my door is open, too.

Seems each year has it's trials and tribulations, but hopefully we learn. This year was not the best for me, yet nobody has died (yet) so that's a good thing. I hope you are ok Chuck and whatever the situation is you're going thru will hopefully work it self out.

These forums have helped me as well, even though I'm not here as much as I used to be. I've been away from my home for about 5 weeks, staying at my parents house. My dad broke his hip and is having a second surgery tomorrow. I've regressed into a kid again.. (believe me it happens!) My only solitude is the computer. I can't wait to go home to my life again... but I am also wanting to take care of things here. It will all work itself out.. that's life right?

I wish the best for all my friends here! Hopefully we will all be here next year to celebrate the fantastic year we had!

Thanks Jesse, I'll talk to anyone who'll listen and I might take you up on that offer some time.

I feel that my year has not been as bad as some other folks. I only mentioned my stuff to give a hint as to why I've not been as attentive lately.
