justin.. cmon man.. dont tlak like that.. ithink weve ALL been there.. i almost did kill meself once. my senior yr in highschool.

it was very hard.. my dad attempted suicide by downing 3 bottles of pain killers and sucking back a case of beer. im the one that found him and revived him. i had the first girl i ever actually loved cheat on me (my senior yr) and leave me. my grades were slipping.. i told my mother i wanted to die and she changed the subject. i grew up getting beaten by a drunk and and i lost my uncle john (tonys dad) whom i thought of as my dad b/c he actually did fatherly things with tony and i was always invited along. hes the only one who ever congradulated me and gave me any words of encouragement. my dad simply said ok whenever i showed him anything. so i know what hurt is... but you come back. we all do.. its hard i know.. im sure most of us know. its hard to do when you have to learn everything yourself and earn it all. gimme a buzz man... but after 4 please (i cant get calls at work)

Life can really suck.

I wont go into detail but I never knew my parents when they were married. Divorce was a normal thing to me. NO-ONE in my family was still married to their first spouse. I lived with my Mom in the projects in Boston till I was 7. We lived off whatever food my Mom could steal from the local supermarket. Then I moved to New Hampshire to live with my Dad and his Wife. She put scars in me that will never come out. I begged for the summers I could spend with my Mom and her stolen Mac n Cheese.

Friends always meant the most to me. I am Lucky to have lots of good people as friends. But there were bad apples that betrayed me and I have still not figured out how to understand how some people think. When you are 18 working at a Pizza joint and your roomate/friend steals all your rent/utility and personal money its pretty rough.

I moved to FL Where my Mom had moved to in 1995 with my Girlfriend of 2 years. 2 years later we married. I was so scared to do it because of the results I was brought up seeing but I did it because I loved her and never wanted to lose her. We had our bad times but all in all I couldnt have asked for a better relationship. I used to brag to my friends about her when they would bitch about their wives and girlfriends. Then 3 years later she decided it would be a good idea to cheat on me. I left our house with everything in it took my car and clothes and moved in with my Mom. She moved in with her parents. I went back to the house 2 weeks later to check my mail and found she was living at the house WITH her new boyfriend. I then filed for divorce and it was final May 7th 2001.

This has been VERY hard on me. I am torn between being lonely not trusting another woman feeling Its not fair to think that....and so on. The only thing I have to keep my mind off things is my car. Im glad it has been good to me.

Through it all my Mom has been there for me. I feel so out of place in her house but she does everything and more to keep my spirits up and make me feel welcome and wanted here. I appreciate her so much. I might owe her my life at this point. I guess I should tell her that.

The worst thats happened to me was that we were rather poor when I was young. My dad worked for 6 months at a time in alaska and canada on the drill rigs to support the family in florida. He came back for a few weeks and then dissapeared. This during the prime years when i needed fatherly direction and for quite some tyime in elementary school my mom was the only one who was around. I love my father and everythign he did but he still works 13 hour days despite the fact that me and my brother are out on our own. The only reason we have a close bond is because he accidentlaly ran me over (long story) with a work truck and hasnt forgiven himself. I feel bad becasue it was an accident and he blames himself. I appreciate al he did but I really would have liked to have him be there when I did most of my major acheviments in life.

well my life has had a lot of ups and downs...my life has been pretty good till my first year of college. I had been dating this girl for 3 years and i really loved her more than anything(ask justin) then one of my friends betrayed me and she cheated on me after 3 years with my friend...after that it went down hill...to make a long story short she broke up with me and i though life was basically over. this hurt me so much at the time i could do anything for weeks...finally i got over this after partying for a few months and i met jessica (my wife) and we dated for 3 months then she got pregnant with little mama(Mackenzie)..i was happy yet scared..neither me or my sisters had kids so i was the first. mom and dad were happy but their marriage was on the rocks. Well Mackenzie was born and all was happy then my mom told me they were getting divorced..OMG...i didnt know what to do...i dont beleive in divorce myself and my parents are getting divorced...i stil dont know what to do aboutt his..every day i see my mom and her boyfriend and it feels so weird.
Another down time for me was when Mackenzie got baptized...my mom and dad were fighting(mid divorce) and it was the day or the baptizim...all my family was here..even family form Massachusetts. everyone was there but my mom cause she didnt want to see my dad..i cried almost the whole day..i didnt want mackenzies day to be wrecked...i ll never forget this day..it really sucked. i was so mad at my mom for not coming..it wasnt fair to Mackenzie..they are her grandparents they should both be there for her.
well anyways i am still trying to cope with my parents divorce i dont know what to feel..i really actually dont unbderstand nor will i ever understand i dont think.
i am getting out of my low slump now though..i have just payed off my car and bought a house...i have wanted both forever..now i just want to see mackenzie grow up and be the best she can. She is my life now and i wouldnt change that. love my daughter more than anything in the world.(yes even more than my car)

OH and one more thing referring to Nosextremes post and i quote:a3198c04c1: i think sometimes i get so lonely that i push myself off on the only 2 people i hang out with and then they ignore me like a an asshole......i am really sorry if you feel that way but you got to understand that i have a family too....your my best friend man i am here for ya whenever you need me. To talk to or just hang out!!! whatever you need!!!

ok i am done now...
