Well you're certainly not a failure, that's for sure! You're going through a bad time and you've admitted how you feel, that's the first part in getting better. I've read your other post and see you mom lives in SA for six months of the year. My mom…

Thanks for that - I guess part of it is admitting how you feel 'cos that means admitting your a "failure" to yourself. My mother-in-law said toady "if your ill then your ill and nothing your boss can say" I got upset that she referred to me as "ill"…
