Hallo. Hope I didn't scare ya off. Ye are a nice person and I hope you know how much I appreciate our discussion. I hope you're not one of the people out there that hate the word "nice" :P
I didn't read everything. I just read the forum topic so that being said... I am not single. I am living with my GF of a year and a half and friend of many years previous. It's a struggle at times but someone tell me that they are in a committed relationship that isn't work!
There are certainly a lot of adults now who suffer from the lack of male influence in their life because either A) Dad wasn't around after the divorce or B) Dad was either at work or sleeping and didn't have time for me.
I feel really blessed because my dad not only provided for my family...
I occasionally get to say "I told you so" but usually to the people that expect it and enjoy my insight. I don't like being wrong. I don't expect anyone else to.
