Update and appreciation

 Hi all , 

 It's been along time since I've been on the website is definitely improved and changed.  I went back and reviewed some of my old postings for perspective. What a bunch of hell.  Even though in my eyes recovery has been slow, it's been relatively fast.  My sons is in college ,he's now 20.he  hasn't talked to his mother for year and a half. she's never bothered to call and is somewhere in New Zealand doing prostitution and drugs .  The stepson three months ago got arrested for selling heroin, is now looking at two years in prison, I do not speak to him nor have I since the divorce or since the dog situation ( my past posts ).  My mother ,my father both are 85 ,I am now caregiving for my dad he's moved in,  is very sharp but very frail, mom is in assisted-living and I see both of them all the time.  I have been pursuing my art career now and I and several galleries in Los Angeles as well as Arizona and submitting to several galleries in New York. 

 Surprising after this long of a time more stuff pops up, and I was wondered why my mom side of the family on my dad side of the family never met my son ever.  And certain friends as well haven't been around and I have come to find out on December  seventh talking about Pearl Harbor with dad and bringing it up to find out that my ex wife threatened everyone over the years. She Told them lies of what I thought about them , though which was a complete lie, so they never bothered to come around or contact , letters I had written postcards for Christmas is that my relatives were supposed to get they never received and this is confirmed by talking to them. I'm now in contact with each and everyone of these relatives trying to move forward in a positive direction.  But knowing that my sons mother isolated him And that he grew up with no relatives  is mind blowing.   The stuff always Seems a pop up on the anniversary of her suicide attempt down the hell that my son and I went through. 

 I've tried the dating thing and that's crazy as well in his own right. 

 But I wanted to also thank you everyone on the site that supported me and back me during my time of crisis.  And even though I never met any of you, you were like my best friends and I've never forgotten that, I have always wondered how Everyone was doing with their own situations. A bunch of you said things like it will get better and I do believe that they would! but for those of you, just starting in a turmoil situation it does get better! 

 now that time is past and you hear people's horrible  stories ,  mind sorta takes a cake. 

 So I want to say thank you to everyone who supported me, I would love to hear a response or feedback on how you're doing 

 Thank you Scott
