>...I know what it`s like when there seems to be no hope left in life, it seems the only thing left to do,I know because in Sept 1985, I to tried to do the same thing,my marriage was over, my ex wanted me out so her new man could move in,the thought of not seeing my 3 children drove to that final straw, life wasn`t worth living,luckyly I did it right place right time & wrong material, I`m still here to tell the tale,and as Slinky put in one of her last threads,I have the marks on my neck to show it.
>I feel awful about Slinky and for your loss Dave. For what its worth, I lived what you endured with your kids. Watched them so hurt and confused as I left and another took my place. I, too, felt those intense feelings you describe - end it all to punish her, hurt her for revenge, run to Alaska with the kids, kill the m*th*rf*ck*r, whatever. In the end each reaction would just hurt my kids more. I guess it all comes down to how much pain from loss are you willing to risk by caring about something or someone so much. The hardest part is to be willing and able to take that very risk again.
