    Welcome and good luck! You may not need it though, since you are a master of communication.

    You now know there is no going back to those comfort feelings of the old days.

    I have had, and will need "luck". My biggest stroke of it was choosing the right girl
    to marry, and the fact that she (also a witness since childhood) is on the same page
    and turning them at about the same rate strikes me as almost miraculous.

    I'm betting your dad may be an elder too?

    Yup, how did you guess?

    I know. I am starting to be ok with that. It's really a grieving process... like losing a beloved pet.

    I'd like you to find SOMEONE you can be yourself with.

    I have, to a certain extent. Besides my wife, I have found a select group of true friends,
    inside and out, that are in a similar place as me, or can at least understand where I am
    without freaking out. As far as a GROUP... no, no sign of that happening yet. But I have hope.
