Hi blindfool,
welcome to the board! (lol)
It is nice to know you can "connect" with other people during a crisis. This place has really helped me heal from all the deprogramming and I really feel I have true friends here. When I have to be away from a computer for several days, I always wonder how everyone here is doing and can't wait to catch up on the "news".
I hope as time goes by you can slowly get through to your wife and kids. You display a lot of patience that I admire. Keep up the good work for you family.
hugs,
j2bf
ps, maybe we can chat sometime in "live chat"! :-)
