Been gone a long time, hello everyone

I just wanted to drop a quick post to say hi to everyone. Life has a funny way of turning things around. Ive been going thru a divorce since August and it is about as ugly as I think it can be. Unfortunately the kids are stuck in the middle of whats shaping up to be a nasty custody battle. The house is on the market but thankfully the Nova and dads Camaro are still around. Of course she is going after them (or at least money from them). I know others on here have been thru this and I have read the threads and advice that has been given. It truly comes in handy and helps me to keep the focus on the big picture, the boys. I guess this thread is more of a thank you to everyone for being such a great group. You guys are great for info on everything in life.

Lewis, I divorced years ago and all I can tell you is that there is life after divorce and it can be better. I lost everything from a new house, new cars, old cars and all the toys. I am still better off now because I would have hated the thought of spending my time and energy with a wife that did not want to be with me.

Just remember to never bad mouth the ex to the kids and in the long run you'll be the better person for it.
They are young, but not stupid - they will in time realize what is what and as long as you are righteous in the end your children will appreciate you for it!
Everything else is only money.

Man Lewis this sounds like great advice from these guys here. Keep praying for wisdom and even for strength to forgive. Keep everything in perspective. I have never been through a divorce but know many that have. It can be total destruction to any person or family. Keep your priorities in line. It will all work out. Sam
