I was on my way home with a works vehicle and I passed them again going the other way, when I got home there was a note in my screen door to let me know he had been here. Shame I wasn't home for that half hour as I would have offered Jason and Karen a cup of coffee!!!

WELL DONE, JASON!!!!!!

Unfortunatly it will be some time before i stay for a cuppa but i will stay long enough to say G'day..Never seen you on the way back but we where keeping an eye out.. We went to wallsend as well just for a drive then came back to Cardiff & got some parts for Karens car for rego then went down to the shops for a while walked around went to the paper shop , then we went & got some lunch & sat out the front in the sun to eat it.. Now karen has gone for a walk down the road to get smokes as we forgot them & yes i was going to get them but Karen wanted to go for a walk down there so i not argueing with her . . .Cody's playing footy at cardiff on saturday so i am going down to watch him play.....

...i have trouble going out to the point where i have locked myself in the bathroom in colds sweats with my heart in my throat thinking i would passout....i also have done this when i have had people coming over to visit or in this case (people offering to come & help )..it has ruined my life & my immediate family..

...you know we used to go up to our local bush...sometimes could take me an hour to get there & we only live literaly 5 min drive from it...

...So i dont deal with people to well cause if i have to leave or (hide)as such they dont understand so we just dont do it but its now realy taking its toll on the wife & kids..

i had a friend who i used to do stuff with... since he died, i havent been able to do anything realy...

...Now the best i do is going down to the local shops again 5min drive away but i do go for a walk round aldi the cheap shops & the paper shop gotta get me rover mags..but this rarely happens .karen does all my running around picking up parts & the like..

dont know how i would handle it..but if it wasnt for karen i know i would be dead she saved me..
the best thing so far is my kids..

...i can only hope that when the car is sorted i can get some part of our life back & start going back to the bush...
So we would like to say many many thanks to everyone who has offered to help...

THANKS Jason & Karen..

Jase, having always kept an eye on how you've been going throughout this thread, and admiring the guts and courage you must have to have even started this in the first place, I thought maybe it was time for us all to think back, and given the rough week or so you've had, and now a few steps forward are happening again, for you to reflect on just how far you've come since the start of the year.

Mate, seriously, I think you're a hell of guy, and I have sincere admiration of just how well you've managed to take a crap situation, and been able to look for some positives, take it one step at a time and from what I've read, make real inroads to turning your life around into something meaningful.

I'm really proud of the way it sounds like you've worked your way through the last week or so, and at the end of the day, I think you have realised what you and Karen have got is worth fighting damn hard for.

I've had the week from hell at work etc this week, but this thread helped remind me the best way forward is one step at a time, and eventually things start to improve.

Jason, as far as I'm concerned, you're a bloody legend, and I reckon you could do anything if you want it bad enough.



Ahh.. and I just realised, this is post #500 for me. I don't usually post unless I have something meaningful to say, and I think this was quite fitting in a way.
