All the best to the AFK! I can’t imagine what you and your family must be going through at this time, but I’m praying for strength and safety for all of you. Take care.

I’m glad to hear AFK is all right.

With regards to the bio-father: sometimes all you can do is remain steady and strong for those that need you; I know you will do that for him.

I’m very glad that your AFK is unscathed, I don’t think we can really know how someone takes being in live combat, without having experience of it; nor for that matter, a mother’s worry. And awful that he and you have such an added problem.

I’m intrigued by EXPELLED. Darwin as a religion? Nonsense has no limit. Something similar happened with Ayn Rand and her Objectivism: A perfectly sound philosophy that actually denies metaphysics becomes subject of a cult following. In some forum long ago (Before Internet, an actual forum) I proposed that they call that “Ayn Ranity”, so how about “Dawrwinity” for this new cult? Charles D. would be horrified, and Bishop Wilberforc pleased. Oh well.

I’m so glad he’s all right, and I completely understand the lingering crisis with his biological father. Yes indeedy. Your son’s a strong man, he will manage even though it won’t always be easy.

Fwiw, sometimes I use the mantra – The bastard died but I’m still ALIVE.

Crazily enough, it helps sometimes.

What a terrible situation with the dirtbag. My heart goes out to all of you. I especially hate to think that his death would impact your family in a negative way.

Been away for a bit and catching up with your latests happenings- so happy your AFK is ok and hanging tough. I appreciate him and all who fight and risk so much. (BTW thanks for sharing your impressions of EXPELLED been wanting to see that).

Warm thoughts to your kids and you regarding your ex. Hopefully, some wisdom will prevail and he will find something within him that will allow clarity. I’ll hope that he can speak the words that could give some peace to those who need to hear them.

I never thought of it that way, but that makes sense. There’s a whole new hurt ripped open to be dealt with, and there’s already been too much. Hugs.

Ahhh Holly – thank goodness he is okay. How scary for them and the family at home.

I do understand what you mean about the death of the dirtbag being the death of hope. As long as he’s around he might wake up and realize, shit, I was an ass. It’s easier to have a dirtbag alive and unapologetic sometimes than to have the dirtbag dead and to know it never mattered.

Hugs to you and your kid.
