[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 1927705, member: 5388"] Ehh...while my woes aren't nearly as severe as some of yours, here's my contribution. My wife and I have lived separately for over 2 years now. We get along fine, even work at the same organization. But we've drifted apart, and even though we've talked about getting back together, that's not feasible. Our son wants to stay in the school he's been attending, which I don't blame him. This means they can't move back in with me. Her place is far too small for the three of us, and they don't allow pets of ANY kind, so I can't move there. Neither of us have the money (even together) to put down deposits for a new place. In fact, I wasn't able to even help buy gifts for our son this year. My vehicle died 1 month ago today, and because of spotty credit, I've not been able to get another. So, I have to rely on rides to work (I can't ride with her, because we don't go in at the same time) and I almost never get to see our son because I don't have any transportation there. He's here right now, because she dropped him off for the afternoon while she finished shopping. And to complicate things, an ex-gf from a very long time ago has recently contacted me, and now I realize I still have a lot of feelings for her. I'm not seeing her, of course, but she's made it obvious she wants to be with me. So now I have re-born feelings for another woman to deal with, on top of really wanting to reunite with my family. I owe back taxes...a lot. And can't pay them. The IRS won't even let me work out an installment plan and insist I pay in a lump sum, so I'm constantly worried the gubment's MIB's will show up and drag me away for tax evasion. sigh... S'anyway...over all, things could be a lot worse. But two years of not living in the same house as my son is taking a toll on me. [/QUOTE]
