My story tunskin: I know you guys all have storys and they are all sad. Here is mine.
I got married december of last year. I had been with this woman for 2 years before that. It was great at least I had thought. And then 2003 happened. This is my year of woe for my life I believe.
I had over extended my self as far as credit goes and had to file for bankruptcy. Not a good way to start a marriage I know. After a month it was final.
Pretty bad so far right read on.
5 am on January 25th I get a call, or should I say my (ex) wife recieved the call. I didn't know who it was at the time. She hung up the phone and came to my side of the bed knealt down and told me. "Honey that was your step mom your dad died." I couldn't believe it at first I thought and told her no it must be grandpa(he is still alive and almost 90 years old so is my grandma and they have been married a very long time) She said no it was your dad. I was in complete shock I mean he was not sick or anything I had just talked to him the night before. Well needless to say I was very heart broken for a while. I was very close to that man and loved him so much. I withdrew from everyone including my new wife. I creid yes even when she was there but I didn't talk.
I quit my job not long after that I had found a diffrent one and thought maybe that would be better. It wasn't I left there too. Then I decieded to go to another state to look for employment. This was in june.
It was at this time in june that my (ex) wife decided to tell me that she didn't want to be with me anymore. Now I hope I don't need to tell you I felt like ending it right there. I lost my father and now the only person left in my life that I was close to? It took alot not to just kill myself. My freinds even told me they don't know how I could even handle it. I made it through though.
I have to tell you somedays it is very hard because I am dealing with two losses and I don't really have any close people to talk to it about. If I had lost one or the other I would have had at least someone. I am not looking for sympathy or anything I just wanted to let you guys know that I have had a very hard year.
I am currently in truck driving school and will become a truck driver and see the country. I think it will be good for me because I will have time to work on myself without getting involved with someone to quickly. When I am ready I will start driving locally and try to find someone else that I can share my life with. Its hard right now to trust anyone like that cause I have had my heart ripped out twice this year.
Where I am living now I came to with the clothes on my back and I just want you guys to know it could always be worse than what you have it.
Re:My story justmenow: Tunskin,
I'm so sorry. That breaks my heart to read about your Dad - moreso than about your wife. That bond between Father and child is so important. He surely meant so much to you and that must have been so difficult to deal with. I can't believe she would kick you when you were down. I hardly know what to say. :'(
Good for you that you took a hold of things and started truck driving school. That will be good for you to get on the road and experience life. I'm sure your Dad is up there somewhere rooting for you.
JMN
Re:My story tunskin: I am sure he is up there somewhere rooting for me. Me and him spent alot of time on the road together from all the moves we did.
