Thanks for your kind reply.

I am somewhat happily married (My wife is wonderful, 90% of the time), have 2 smart stepsons, a yummy foster kid, 8 cats, a dog, and a hamster. The 10 per cent of my marital issues or adversities are brought on by my anger, frustration or failure to take my meds (like today). My wife isn't perfect, but she is my rock, the best thing that's ever happened to me. I hate it when I embarrass her or act immature. I just wish i could act in a manner that endears me to strangers or people outside my inner circle.

I hate being related to as the guy who's smart and has so much potential, but in reality a dork and relegated to the arena of social/intellectual outcast.
