It takes guts, and energy -- maybe a sign that you're beginning to claw your way out of the abyss (not without some backsliding, I'm sure; most trendlines are pretty jagged when you zoom in). <br /><br />Very glad you had a good Father's Day.

One of the problem, I guess, is a basic catch-22: if you have real problems, you're too busy dealing with them to write witty screeds on unknown blogs.

I am very sympathetic to what you're going through, and it's understandable that some collateral damage occurs when someone is trying to keep one's head above water.<br /><br />I take to heart - too much so many people say - the comments that come in, and I have heard your complaints many many times as well.
