A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall On the road to being normal again

Hello folks....
I am going to do this as a public post, just because I am so tired of telling this story individually to all of my friends. My attendance here has suffered due to some craziness in my life, that has been well beyond my control.
Some of you know of the trials and tribulations I have been dealing with in my life, and now it looks as if things are going to start to calm down a bit. I have recently regained custody of my youngest son, and he is finally back home with me where he belongs. His mother is not doing all that well, her cancer has spread to her back bone and pelvis. For those of you who don't know, I was supposed to have custody of him in the 1st place, she decided to keep him against court orders when he went out there for a visit. Basically leaving me with the decision of taking a dying mother to court for custody. I chose not to. In retrospect I have learned that that was a very poor decision, but no lasting harm has been done thank God. He was severely malnourished when I picked him up and since he has had no reinforcement of his schooling at home. His friends are way ahead of him academically now. He should be going into the 2nd grade, and he is pretty much at the same level as most children are entering kindergarten. I decided to retain him in the 1st, it should not bother him much at that age especially since he is in a new school.
Well we can hit the books and put some weight on him, so like I said....no lasting damage.
Getting back into the swing of being a single dad again, has been ahhhh let's just say challenging. So while I will still be coming in here, my visits will be less frequent until I get can this boat back onto an even keel once again.

I thank you all for your prayers and wishes

Mike
