Well, most of you know what my wife and I have been going through lately.
There comes a time where it is overwhelming.
Since December.
Put down family dog of 14 years. Laid our daughter to rest. Had a disastrous fishing trip to help clear my head. Got the flu after returning. Stepson had open heart surgery last Monday. Had mini stroke, but, getting better.
Now I have a couple of animals groups and local s.o office trying to press charges for catching and disposing of feral cats and raccoons from a local business.
When does it end? Lot to take in less then two months.
Wife is tired and just asked to move to another state. The thought of starting over is mind boggling.
Thanks,
Sarge

Sorry you're going through all that. You're in South Carolina, I'd think that's far better than most other states. Best of luck.

Sarge, can't imagine what you two went through with your daughter...hope it is getting easier every day. Hang Tight! Screw the an antis and their games! I'm sure you followed the law to the T.
Don't move because of this emotional rollercoaster. Get your health back and proceed with your trapping.
Just my take....

SGT. C, although it may not seem like it, it will soon get better. Try any way you can to find a positive attitude, which can be tough when you feel bad. Keep talking to anyone who will listen, and help can come from unsuspected places!


If your mind draws a blank, turn off the sound, because ya can't learn a thing if you're doin all the talkin

I really feel for you. That is too much to have to go through in such a short amount of time. Just losing a child is more is more than you should ever have to go through. I'll pray that you will have the strength to get through one day at a time. Been there.

Oh man. You’re in it now, but it will end. And you will look back on it and be glad you kept your cool and stayed rational.
I went through several years of domestic mess which was unbearable…..Pray, workout, eat right and talk to good friends.

You will get free from the storm. I remember friends saying to me “ you don’t deserve going through all this crap for so long….” This was coming from guys that were NOT living “straight and honest lives” lol they kinda thought they deserved it.

It’s never a bad idea to get away from crazy people harassing you if possible. Animal work is good but too many idiots watching every move, and arm-chair experts ready to pounce. Be careful, and document everything.

Praying for you and your wife. An oldfriend told me once to always do the right thing and hold your head high.

You didn't do anything wrong. Don't think you did.

Be the anchor for your family now. Laugh in front of them and smile every chance you get.

Cry where they will not see you. Being a man can really SUCK sometimes!!

Praying the LORD will give you some of our strength to lift you up and straighten your back to hold your head high.

Be strong brother. They look up to you and need you. I can only imagine how broken you are inside.

Pray daily and often even though sometimes you may not want to talk to GOD.


How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

It's a good sign, you are venting. It's good for your psyche, I think. I've had my share of disagreements with God, myself. Strangely, about the time you think you have it really bad, you run across someone who has it worse and is coping with it better. Humbling, for sure! Hang in there, it will get better!
