I echo Peter's sentiments entirely.
I'm sure that most of us have stories to tell.
For myself I remember the day I arrived back from Scotland to find that my ex had left our home, taking our 2 children with her. I had done nothing wrong - it was she who had decided 'shack up' with another man, yet I lost my children!!!!!
The feeling I had was beyond pain.
I feel for you Mick, as I'm sure we all do.
Remember though, you have a family on here - we care.
Onwards and upwards eh?
