Rob,

First off, I apologize greatly if what I said offends you. My intent was to use "being swamped" as a catch-all description for the factors which have prevented you from being able to offer the high level of support you were offering previously. This was done out of a desire to not go around blurting out the details of your situation. Maybe it's therapeutic for you to tell us about what's going on in your life, and I think most of us are perfectly happy to listen and to talk about them with you. But in all honesty, I'm not the right guy to be broadcasting those details to someone who's asking about empeg support, so I preferred to mask the details in a more generic term, to let the original poster know that support might take awhile.

Secondly, I know some of what you're going through via firsthand experience, being the child of divorced parents, and having an alcoholic father. While I haven't gone through a divorce myself, I've been affected by it, and know what it can do. It may not mean much for me to say that now, but I hope that you can come back to this thread at a time when you've overcome some of the grief you're feeling now and understand that I had no ill intent to my post.

In closing, I just want to wish you the best. You and I have never met, but I am pretty confident in saying the alcohol was doing most of the talking here, and I hope the Rob I remember from before comes back soon.
