have not been on here for a while .....

[Grenth89Ranger]

Hello fellow Ranger enthusiasts!

As you may have noticed (more then less likely not lol) I have not been on for a while.
I am at the point where I would talk as to why....

First off, I am a father of 2 great boys who are the ages of 5 and almost 8 years old, I and my girlfriend have been together for approx. 10 years

I work 56 hours a week 40 at one job and 16 at the other ... on Mondays and Tuesdays I work from 3 pm till 11pm at one job and from 1130 pm till around 730 am at another...

recently (around January 25th) I suspected Michelle (my ex girlfriend) was cheating on me ...I then confronted her and she said yea ... on Mondays and Tuesdays I usually have my sister watch the boys and I get home by 5 am or I have them come up here .... I was so livid ... this is UN acceptable ... this is done while my kids are sleeping in the home I supply them

So on February 4th I was headed to a friends to stay the night cause I was moving out well in the process of ... I was traveling roughly 55 mph in my 05 dodge caravan (the ranger was not going to cut it where I was going to go to work that night), when suddenly .... A female jumps out of no where in front of my van........ I killed her..... She was trying to commit suicide and P.D. was already on there way for multiple calls involving "smarter people" who had to dodge her... so yea that happens

I can’t stop seeing the persons face that I killed, I had no music on so i heard her bones crush while impacting on my hood, she went through my window, and over the top of my caravan, The van is still in the shop with 2,752 dollars worth of damage

it seems as if I was lied to my whole life ... she was only doing it for a couple months like 4 or 5 she says but still ... now im in a studio now alone and I see my boys 2 days a week ... its not enough ... sorry for my sob story but I have been quiet this whole time ... I have pushed family and friends away from me. Thanks for your time and hope to see more projects to get me going on mine

Wow

All I can really offer is what my mom used to tell me when I was little.

This too shall pass

Just keep on keepin' on, and eventually it will work itself out.

wow man, that's harsh. i couldn't even begin to imagine. you've been thru a lot. all i can say is that when it seems like God is the last thing you want, usually he is the first you need. i won't go all religious b/c i know how some feel about that.. but i'll be praying for you. i hope things get better for ya soon. i hope things turn completely around and you get to see the boys more and have a nice normal life.

Wow I am very sorry for the recent events and I can only hope things get better for you and you can move past the whole period in your life. I pray things work out for you. and keep on truckin!

 

[7.5L_STX]

wow man, thats heavy. but like 85' said, just keep on keepin on. i cant promise things will get better, noone can, but if you keep doin your best and bein a good person, things tend to work themselves out.

i wish you all the luck in the world.

 

[Twister]

Man that sucks, i hope everything gets better for you.

You came back to the right place for friends bro, you already spilled your guts to us so dont even think about pushing us away... that took big courage and we are here for ya man.

 

[ranger_mclaren]

Wow man I sorry to hear all that, Welcome back among friends. We are all pulling for ya I'll look forward to seeing you around. I hope you can take up a project to help get your mind off other things that always works for me. Please keep in touch with all of us.

 

[TheTopher]

Wow, man. That's rough.


I'm assuming you'll be getting rid of that caravan as soon as possible?

You're in the right spot for good people...even though we get off topic and make inappropriate jokes quite often.

 

[8879ford]

You also have my prayers....and i hope things get better for you soon...

The guys on here will always be there for you. this is not the time to be pushing family away, even if you don't feel like it, it might help to spend some time with them. Keep posting on here so we know you're ok, this is not something that will fix itself overnight.

 

[Grenth89Ranger]

Thanks EVERYONE for the kind words and help ..... its good to see there are people out there that care ....
