on a lighter note I pulled one of my best pranks on my wife recently, completely unintentional and surprised shes not divorcing me. went to the shrink recently (no surprise to many) for adult A.D.D. some pills no biggie. was sitting at my desk covered with papers watching that Jim Carey movie me myself and Irene and got a kick out of that psych diagnosis and wrote it down on the nearest piece of paper which happened to be from the shrink. I wrote: "psych diagnosis advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage and adult A D D" then forgot all about it. then a week or 2 later I noticed my wife was acting and looking at me weird like so I ask her whats wrong, she starts bawling and says when were you gonna tell me you had schizophrenia lol. I'm like what the hell are you talking about and she says don't lie to me I saw that dr's note and shoves it in my face. I start laughing my azz off and tell her it was just the movie. eventually she believed me calmed down and is now laughing about it and she says you really got me with that one. not quite as good as the one I pulled on April fools day a few years back but good cuz it was a total accident.
I honestly hurt for you guys!
Not to rub it in, but I was blessed with a great woman 41 YEARS AGO! The good ones are out there!
One word of advice (not that you asked)- if you want a steak, you don't go to McDonald's! :no
Get my drift?
Good luck to all of you going through the ruff time. I am also blessed been with the same women for 10 years and love every minute of it. Always thought I would be single because being in the job I am in women take it for granted. But any how I digress if you need someone to chat with or enjoy an ice cold brew I am here in the south east side of Florida. Have seen alot of firemen go through this and I know the best thing for it is friends who will help and listen. Good luck
I'm lucky enough that I get the kids + house and she pays the bills but it's still gonna put a kink in my plans for long butt road trips and 3 day campouts...
Losing her was the easy part!
not to trivialize your situation but it sounds like you either have a great lawyer, shes a real piece of work or some combo of each. looks like your gonna have to do a lot of 1/2 day hunts close to home like me. if it means keeping the kids it's worth it imo. not trying to preach but if you don't put family/marriage ahead of hunting/fishing it's gonna be a sure road to divorce.
