Ringing Lifeline was a good thing to do, so do it whenever you need to talk to someone non-judgmental.
It was for myself i was just being a smartass to Aus cause he was on my back most about it ,& i tell you he is a heavy old bugga to..Quote:

Many of us have our own issues we must deal with and it takes up a lot of our time but be that as it may, before I read your last reply I was thinking about the content of this thread and really how far you've come (even if you don't realise it yourself) and the help you could give others. Emptying your head is a big help to both you and to whom ever you're talking.Quote:

And believe me, I 've seen it so many times, both you, Karen and your kids will get through this and survive in a much stronger way than you can imagine right now. Don't ever wish you were dead mate, cos its for eternity. Keep talking to us, any and all of us and we'll bit by bit help you through this.
cheers Gerald
Hey Banj, how are they hanging mate......
Well, I haven't been on this thread for a while and it is apparent that Karen has been talking to you as I have rung her (tried several times and nobody has been home). Things have been changing here rapidly, been VERY busy with Mrs Aus's father being very ill and eventually passing away last Friday (got the call at midnight) and we had his Funeral yesterday. All the family have been visiting Nan and the Daughter who lives in Brisbane came down, she just left to return to Brissy about 30 minutes ago. So you can see it has been a very busy and sad time for my family. I have been on the Forum but only for fleeting minutes to catch up with what is going on.
Karen has no doubt mentioned to you that I have changed jobs, I now drive buses out of the Edgeworth Depot for Hunter Valley Buses, been a while since I have driven full size vehicles but I am getting used to it. Went to Sydney today with other drivers and brought back eleven buses, all brand new. The one I drove back had just over 1000 k's on the clock and smelt like a new car. Drove like a car too, automatic gearbox and all but you have to remember there is 22 metres of vehicle behind you when you go around roundabouts.
Anyrate, I thought I would catch up with you as I have been very busy, also had to do a course called Certificate 111 Transport and Logistics (Buses and Coaches) which took 2 weeks fulltime, luckily the company paid me a wage while I was doing it.
The buses we brought back are Volvo chassis and motor with a Volgren frame, even has a camera at the back so you can see when you are reversing, good stuff.:)
Anyrate, that's the latest from me, hope you are going well, marvellous what you can do when you say to yourself "I can do this". Go for it mate, it can be done!!!!:D

Banjo, if you want me to pick up your tools and bring them too you, only too happy too do it, mate!!!:D
Firstly, sorry to hear the sad new Ausfree. My condolences to you and your family.
Jason, what a change in your attitude - "It is going to take me awhile to get motavated from this but we will see." - what I read from your words is a positive attitude for the future. You will see and you will survive strongly and your relationship with your kids will flourish and all will be well in the future, even if it takes a while, believe me. Keep talking mate.
cheers gerald
