So sorry things got complicated. Definitely take the ‘me’ time and a cross-country trip sounds exciting. Just don’t be changing your football team now that you’ve moved south!

Aaron -

I’m sorry to hear this – I went through something similar not too long ago.

I do hope that things work out and you’re able to find a level of happiness as things settle.

And if you do the cross-country drive, you’re always welcome here in Minnesota — there are even other Red Sox fans here (other than just me!)

Hope you find some balance. Regardless, stay a good dad.

Sorry to hear about this dude, but thanks for sharing. I recently went through a divorce and we went through mediation. We ended up with an outcome that was positive for both parties. For the ex-spouse, me and the children much of the “bitterness” of divorce was avoided. Let me know if you’d like to know more about our mediation.

Best wishes to you through all these transitions. May you have the most patience, strength and determination to make this as smooth as possible for your son. Let me know if there’s any way I might be able to help out in some way.

Aaron, not the misery needs any more company but I too am going through some similar changes. It is truly a most volatile time in my life. As much as I think it's isolated to me, it is not. Does that give me solace? Absolutely not. I never talk about my personal life with anyone but decided to commiserate with you.

For me, I'm at the cross roads of my career. The cross roads prompted by the fact that I was given an ultimatum 3 months ago. I had till the end of October to generate more income for the company. Interesting statement given that I am not in a sales position. Made even moreso by the fact that the ceo is my sisters husband.

Trying to ignore that fact is very very difficult. Communication has dwindled to a cursory good morning and good evening. Uncomfortable would be a kind word in this case.

I'm not sure what the next few months will bring. Bankruptcy, being humbled, appreciating what you got, loving your immediate family, knowing who your true friends are, lack of sleep, stress, not eating, taking stock, resumes, brainstorming, applying for jobs, accepting the inevitable-all these thoughts and more come to mind.

I can relate on some levels what you're going through...

Marc
