LOL! Happy Valentine's Day Everyone. Not having a good day...but keeping chin up!
family problems and being rejected by siblings and parents. Good thing I am at work to take my mind of some very, very heavy matters. But...that's life! Well, at least I have a cat to come home to and my car (but that has been talking back to me lately, but will sweeten up this friday once the Defcons go in).

I am sorry for your problems Sully. You will be in my prayers......
Don't let it get to you. Keep your head up and remember that as long as you have your health you can survive anything with God's help.

FWIW, when I was young, I worked in hospitals that specialized in spinal cord injuries. Every day
that you swing your legs over the side of the bead and stand up, that my friend is a good day.

I had a hospital event like that. Doctors thought I wouldn't live, but proved them wrong
and I was pretty well far gone. Spent six weeks in the hospital and went from an extremely fit guy with about 4% body fat and 165lb bicyle racing weight to very quicly down to 128pounds. Could not function on my own, had to have a shower assist, someone feeding me, on oxygen, etc,etc, etc...but then one day I just said "screw all this, I want to get well to see another day", and I started on the road to recovery by walking just out of my hospital room a couple steps, then the next day a couple more, then 50 ft, 100ft., lap around the floor, then out the hallway and heading back home. Pretty much a year or more of recovery of very intense exercise and will power. Yeah, life turned on a dime for this guy, but I made it. I always use that time to reflect on when the chips seem down. In truth, I am one of the toughest people on the face of the earth insofar as this goes. It doesn't matter how hard I am hit, I will always get right back up! I take great pride in this knowing that even if it came to a physical fight (showing who is the real alpha male... LOL!), same would apply...but I don't go around looking for those opportunities.

Well, I see that you have the right attitude ......
which will get you through this down time. Everything in our lives is a learning experience, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
