Thanks guys...Im sorry for coming on here with my problems. I just had to let it out. Truckdrivers are lonely people who don't talk to a lot of their friends because they are never around. It's a screwed up life and I had no one else to talk to about this whole thing. Mrs. Tiger just cried when I told her, so I didn't want to make it worse for her by bitching about it.

Anyway, whatever...it just helped to get it out and have people tell me I wasn't alone with it...that things have happened to others just like this.

Thanks for letting me vent and not judging me by it.

No need to apologize, we ARE family! I am not trying to preach by any means, but I would offer the same advice I would seek, which is Biblical advice; take it how you will. Basically, your birth family is your family until you find your wife. After you find your wife, she is now your family. I think it says BOTL will always be family in there somewhere too, but don't quote me on that... :wink:

Genesis 2:24 - This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.


Luke 9:5 - And if a town refuses to welcome you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.



Vent my brother vent!

Damn, that is pretty depressing....put an open invite here on the board and your BOTL family will be there to support you my friend!
I'd have to agree... I wouldn't be able to make the commute due to family and money, but I wouldn't put it past a lot of brothers to show up!

That really blows. Family can be really great or they can truly suck. Personally, I had to 'divorce' one entire half of my family (mother's side) - and it's been over 10 years of contact-free bliss. I hope your situation does not have to get to this extreme.

Hey Allen, sorry to hear that. It's their loss. Forget about it, you can't change other people, just live in the moment. Sounds like your marrying into a great family. Enjoy that and congrats on getting married.:computer:

Sorry bout your family problems man, but as lots of others have said already, everyone has family problems. My wife and I went through a lot of the same during our wedding. Family from both sides, didn't show who we thought should have. It sucks, but when it was all said and done, we had such an amazing time with the ones who showed up, and who really cared, that we didn't miss the others. Just go out there and have a blast at your wedding, and then on the honeymoon. Really at the end of the day its all about you and your wife to be anyway, you don't need anyone else. Congrats on the Marriage!

sorry to hear this, brother! never apologize for venting on BOTL! i'm still new here, but i already feel like i could do the same if i needed to.

also, if i was closer to GA, i'd be there to show support in a heart beat! plus... didn't i read somewhere that you were going to have a cigar bar at the wedding? :wink:

in any case... good luck navigating through this tough situation, and remember that the important thing, really, is the life that you and your wife are starting together.

:thumbsup:
