I don't really know where to put this, guess this is the right spot. I've been absent on chat and posting as much as I'd like recently. I've been helping my mom through what appears to be a divorce. I'm not normally all about "feelings" or the past but this brotherhood had become a second family so here goes:

My stepfather became a part of my life when I was 9. My father was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor when I was 6 and died before I was 7. He was the love of my mothers life. My step father came in and did the best he could for my brother and I and gave me two younger sisters. Apparently some 20 yrs later my fathers memory and mothers semi-insanity(women) have caused them to part ways.

Now financially my mother has been a stay at home mom for quite some time and this has left her somewhat high and dry. I've been trying to help support my family and deal with the burdens of all this. I'm not one for excuses at all so I apologize for the way this sounds. I owe some TR and a couple packages that I promise will get there. It would appear that I'm not as active but I promise that I'll check in on the brothers everyday and will participate as much as I can.

I'm sorry for the length of this guys, if your still reading thanks.

Family stuff is always super fun to deal with... Hope you and the siblings and mother are making it alright.

Let me know if there's anything I can do brother

Thanks guys, it means a lot. I know it pales in comparison to some of the huge struggles I've seen from other members of the brotherhood. Thanks for the understanding and the friendship guys, it means the world.

Sorry that you are going through this brother, hang in there. On a side note, your story is eerily similar to mine. Check for a PM.

Struggle is still a struggle. Be there for your mom like you are, nothing more important than family brother
