Now that I have I recognise alot of similarities to my situation 14 years ago. I went form being the main 'bread winner' to having to leave because of stress and depression caused by work. I was fortunate enough to have the support of my husband and family and still found it tough at the begining. To think that you have come through all this and all on your own, along with having to deal with the trauma of loosing your dear wife makes me feel very humble indeed. You most certainly have done the right thing-especially if work was making you feel like that, and, from the little I know of you via Twitter, I can see that you are a survivor and a very caring and thoughtful father to your children.You seem to be exactly the sort of Dad that any mother could wish for their children.Your wife will be so proud of all you have done. I am proud to have you as a Twitter friend<br />Jackie (@jandsy)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1789461325296237528.post-40294918535638370332010-07-18T03:04:34.234-07:002010-07-18T03:04:34.234-07:00Well done.

I've worked for myself for over 20 yrs (off/on) and for three of those years as a single parent of three kids. It was great being able to be there when the kids needed me. I believe that teens need an involved parent around as much as littlies do! Good things are just around the corner for you, I'm certain of it.

Depression is being recognised more than it used to, but it's such a difficult illness to cope with. You've come through this stronger than ever to live your life and experience everything life has to offer, and not just exist. I always look forward to seeing your tweets and our chats. It's clear to see how much of a devoted father you are and a bloomin nice person. If I can ever give you support or my humble opinion, give me a shout! <br /><br />Donna (bobbi10100)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />TaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452928332664618560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1789461325296237528.post-70270999290175874462010-07-17T11:46:02.894-07:002010-07-17T11:46:02.894-07:00I think it's brilliant that you have done this...I think it's brilliant that you have done this and it has released you to be free and enjoy life.

At least with your background you have many options open to you, if indeed you don't go for something alternative, which of course you could try.<br />Homeworking is hard and anyone who thinks differently and thinks it's a skive just doesn't know.nikhttp://niksargent.comnoreply@blogger.com
