thanks, slak. no..it's the worst pain i've known. thankfully, no children are involved, but it's still small consolation at this point in time. i've been prone to depression for the past 15 years, but been off of antidepressants for some 9 months..feeling it creeping back. the holidays are shot already. hope you're feeling better. things are always supposed to get better, but for some of us the road back is slow and agonizing.
