So on Jennifer Harley's advice, NotTooLost and I spent pretty much the whole weekend together, with me going back to my sister's house for overnight. We saw Robots with the kids, ate lunches and dinners, and were just together. Sunday afternoon, the Fluke family came over to the house and we ate dinner and hung out together. NTL expressed and I certainly feel that it went really well. Another day today -- we had to do some carpooling thanks to my car needing some last-minute work -- and NC is still in full effect.

momto3boys, if you happen to read this, my wife and I watched your Dr. Phil from Feb. 3 last night. She had commented how watching that episode over and over (gotta love TiVo), seeing you and hearing Dr. Phil's advice, had really inspired her to do what she needed to do by filing and going to Plan B/D. It really had an impact on me too. I sadly saw a lot of my (old) self in dadto3boys, and I definitely saw how that episode gave my W the strength to make the hardest decisions of her life. Again, if you read this, I just wanted you to know that what you are doing now is affecting a lot of real people out there for the good. Stay strong, and we hope for all the best for you.

Lost Family,

I was pleased to read this update! How awesome that you were able to spend the weekend together, and that the Fluke Family joined you yesterday! Keep working on yourselves, and the rest will follow! I truly feel that you guys have a great chance of making it, especially since you are BOTH willing to work on the issues.

How goes the job search? Hopefully that will also fall right into place! I know that over the past couple months, Sailorman and myself have placed full trust in God to provide for us, and things have been so blatantly(sp) obvious which path we need to take! It's amazing how God reveals his plans to us when we just place that trust fully on him!

Keep up the good work, and keep us updated!

Love,

Tigger

I am so very happy for you and NTL! I am glad that my being on TV has helped so many people....sadly it hasn't helped Dad to see the light...I think he is trying, but not fast enough!

I see a lot of hope for you and the MRS! Watching the SECOND episode of that series really OPENED MY eyes as well! I only see a very lost man who wants nothing other than to please himself!

I wish you the best of luck!

Hi tigger, thanks for the support! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

The job search is going as slowly as expected. I'm in with two recruiters and meeting with a third this week. Outside of one ad in the newspaper this week, not many other opportunities have surfaced so far, but these things take a while. On Jennifer Harley's advice, we're looking at just submitting my resume cold to companies in the area where my W works, to facilitate carpooling, lunches, etc. A long shot, but it doesn't hurt!
