I met what was to be my wife when I was 18 and she was 16. Basically for us both we were the first true loves. We went through all the things together,living together, marrying after 3 years, building a house, selling the house, moving around trying to find the perfect life, except for one thing, no kids. Then one day we decided to give the whole corporate thing away and go travelling, whammo within 3 months, no pressure, Shane on the way. All is rosy for a few years until Gloria got diagnosed with Renal failure and our whole life was uprooted. Had to leave the nice, cushy job I had and go back to the city and survive. Some people are stronger in life, I hit the grog, Gloria had a transplant and a mental breakdown. Chances are I did too, but hey I'm a bloke, we're tough. Along the track we took on Mat, who was an unwanted child. We managed to tough it out for a few years until Gloria decided she was going home to mum. I lasted a year on my own until I went back cap in hand, accepting all the blame and we got back together. We bought another house and had it almost paid off when, whammo 2, she has another breakdown(yes I know I should have seen it coming) and I get home one night to find all my stuff on the front veranda. So 27 years of my life gone, just like that.
The Present: I have moved on, met a wonderful woman, work part time as a petrol console operator, and Linda and I are slowly going broke trying to run a takeaway.
Shane, basically has dragged himself through Uni. and is well on the way to becoming a ... |

Just been through the Christmas - New Year thing, survived, just!!
Over that time I almost forgot about Minti.
Which has really got me thinking, looking at most of the questions here, they mainly seem to be from young stuck at home mothers, or people in abusive relationships. My profile is there for all to see, I'm hiding from nothing but I can see that this site could potentially be a lurkers paradise. So if anyone's reading this, is a middle aged blokes advice really welcome here? Should it be? |

I nearly finished my story on the other page 
Basically I admit that i am far from perfect., but I'm not a bad bloke. I've been there, done that, love kids, specially all the ones that call me Grumps (and thats half the town  )
So I guess any advice I can offer is real, it will be honest.
