Sufferer How Do I Save This Mess I Created?

How was your weekend? Did you get to see the kids?

I'm really touched. Thank you.

My weekend with the boys was fab.

Roller skating on Saturday was a hoot.
My youngest tried it for the first time and is a total speed freak. Loads of fun and giggles. This was followed by hot chocolate, Merlin and Dr Who whilst all cuddled up on the sofa.

It was a priceless moment and will keep me going for a long while.

Sunday was swimming followed by Sunday lunch at old friends. Also a really fun day and the boys got loads of love and hugs and some real quality time.

The trip back was somewhat subdued. They didn't want to go which really touched me. To have the love of my kids is unbelievably strengthening. Wow! It makes me realize that I have improved so much since I sought help.

The handover was fraught with tears from my middle son and my wife snapping at them and then doing her pieces at me. She didn't even bother saying goodbye to me which was hurtful.

Since then my eldest has got Skype working with the camera and headset I got him on Saturday and we had a long, long chat last night which was great.

The house is very quiet again now and it will take a few days to get used to again. However, I'd forgotten the pain of treading on Lego so I need to tidy up!

Roll on Easter! I have them for 10 days over the holiday.

Woo hoo.

Roll on Easter! I have them for 10 days over the holiday.

Easter eggs galore, fun and games, late nights, cuddles on the sofa.

Way to go Cufflinks.

I hope you all have a whale of a time, Lego to boot.

My favourite joke:

It is said that when you cry, if the first tear comes from the left eye you are crying out of love.
If the first tear comes from the right eye you are crying out of sorrow.
And if the tears come from both eyes....You've trodden on lego!

Also if there is a loud bang when your hoovering up, you just hoovered up a Lego space ship.

How fun! My favorite toy was girder and panel! Well it was my brothers. I wonder if that is why I love construction design!

Lego's are the greatest invention :cry: Missed one! Great job Dad, don't let her rain on your parade. Hugs, Whitney

It's been a good while since I updated this. My apologies and also my thanks. I went to the depths of hell with what I was going through. There are several reasons that I'm still here to tell the tale. One of the major ones is you guys/gals. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have had more Trauma Focused CBT than I want to remember. I've spent 7 weeks at Combat Stress. I'm now a changed man.I'm still immensely sad about the divorce but I am moving on.

The therapy at Combat Stress has changed my life. However, you guys saved my life when there was nobody there for me. From the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU.
