Years later, happily remarried, kids grown - it's not worth reading or printing, I don't think, even if it contains lessons. The main lesson is that nobody knows how hard it is unless they've been through it, and that everyone survives and gets their sanity back within a few years. Not sure how many get their money back, but sanity is priceless. And it comes back even if life dishes out some other traumas at the same time.

But even if you do not, send us a wave sometimes, we will know, you are ok...or, at least you still have the wire :) (BTW, a lighter topic: a word about the MMO: I did not have any goal in WOW until the BRK-1000. Now i have something to fight for there. :) ) Daniel, do not worry, write whenever you have feel you can.

Just put away in a drawer somewhere. No one has to read it. Ever. But writing helps. Before blogs for everyone to read, people used to keep journals and private diaries. My 7-year-old son actually requested one with a key. Also getting enough sleep. That helps, too. (hug) Writing always helps. Just put away in a drawer somewhere. No one has to read it. Ever.

I also know it's going to get better. Oh, and I agree with what Clioratha said about writing. May I suggest Truecrypt? No need to delete it for it to be private. ;-] Steve Speaking (once again) as someone who got divorced at 40, and who is now very happily married once more at 44, let me just say that I know it sucks.

Kudos to you for having a long-term perspective on this, and know that when everything has settled down, and you want to use us as your sounding board to get junk off your mind, we'll be waiting. -Del Sometimes when you’re going through challenging times in your life it’s really hard to take the high ground and be the grown-up.
