I'm nowhere near where you want to move, but feel you pain. Been there.

I'm in the LM but if there is anything I can do to help just PM me.

I almost posted something like that but after I wrote it I felt like it would be mean kicking a guy when he was down so I deleted it and was gonna praise scout for his kind offer but that seemed too sucky.... all in all, I hope this separation works out for the best and you bounce back 110% of what you were...most valuable lessons I learned in my break ups were 1) never lose your temper with her if you want her back cuz 10 good deeds will be wiped out by 1 bad thing then 20 more good deeds to get back where you were before losing it...plus letting her push your buttons is GIVING AWAY YOUR POWER... 2) if she left you the reason she gives will not be the real reason cuz if you make a big change based on her "reason" you will find that the "reason" will suddenly change....acting like you are disinterested (don't call her to talk...be business like short and impassionate if you have to talk to her...stay aloof until she makes advances then open up only a small bit (play your cards tight to the chest)....If you left her I am sure it was for a good reason...heheheheh...
good luck

No need to complicate things bud (although I totally get what you're saying). :)
My offer/thoughts to the OP stands.

[monasheemountainman]

yep breaking up sucks, a good laugh never hurt tho...and I would offer it up if we were buds but my wife has a thing about me bringing home men I meet on the internet.

All the best hope you get to see your boy lots...watch out for douches in Kelowna, their population here has exponentially grown..ohya and watch for those vehicles with red/white learners plates, lots of those in the Okanagan this time of year lol...

Vortexhunter, breaking up with a girl is not breaking up with your son. Don't let anyone tell you any different, especially your ex. Right now she is probably trying to hurt as much as she can because that's what people do when they break up. Not defending it, just seen it many times.

If you need them, there is a free legal resource group at the family law court. If you ever feel you might risk losing your relationship with your son, go talk to them and they will give you a lot of comfort.

I've watched as the court gave child access to a drug addict, imprisoned father. Judge said it was good for both the son and the father. Compare your situation to that and know you'll always have a relationship with your son.

Good advice I'd take it Vortex...

thanks everyone I am trying to keep my son close to me , I am very Broken and hurting right now might have tattoos and seem mean but I am a huge suck lol especially with my son , the sad thing over all this is I still have no home no where to go and I found out who my real friends are and there far and few between . BUT respect all of your guys/gals advice I am trying to keep my chin up but its very hard . Vortexhunter

[albravo2]

VH,

Rough seas make good sailors. It sucks, but it is true.

Keep your chin up. If your son is safe, you can concentrate on you. If I was at a crossroads, I'd pick a small town with real people and rebuild my life surrounded by good people. Lots of them out there to build solid friendships with.

[REMINGTON JIM]

Sorry to hear about your problem BUT its LIFE and you can make it better - keep your Chin up and Work at it and all will be better in the End - Being there - Done that ! It is not EASY but all will be OK ! :wink:

Cheers RJ
