bumping up the thread.  my former husband, age 65, and father of my son passed away unexpectedly last week. so i've been off pc. in recent time i had been his caretaker but caring for him was too much to handle. he had suffered from paranoid schizophrenia since he was 25. was a great blow to all of us. but i'm sober and that still, 24 years now, remains my no.1 priority in my life. that's two painful losses in one week for me. 
i hope everyone is doing ok too.
