I know this is probably far too personal and won't really be of interest to a lot of people...but i've always had a habit of saying too much on here as yesterday proved and i just want to try and put a few things right.
I'd like to apologize to everybody for my outburst yesterday on the car thread...it was completely uncalled for and totally out of order.
I know it's no excuse but i've been having a pretty tough year this year...what with moving away from my children and seeing so little of them, and the prospect of not seeing them on christmas day for the first time since they were born, it's been getting to me lately.
I've been neglecting my work far too much as i'm having a hard time concentrating on things.
I know as some of you have pointed out to me that this place is just a forum and it isn't real life etc...but the truth is, this forum means a lot to me...it saved my life.
At a time when i was most low i was considering suicide..i couldn't see any way forward as my family fell apart before my eyes due completely to my own actions.
Through this forum i met some people who changed the direction of my life...my business grew from this forum...suddenly having so many people around me saved me from doing something really stupid.
It became a lot more important to me than it was to some people.
The whole feel of the forum has changed over the past few months, and i realise that it's not necessarily a bad thing as it's now attracting so many like minded and yet at the same time diverse people together...the number of people on the group rides shows this...but i was stuck in a rut and could only see the negatives in everything as i guess i wanted it to stay as it was at the start...which is of course totally unrealistic.
My time here on the forum is undoubtedly done as i need to start concentrating on the things that are truly important...but i didn't want to go with any bad feelings.
So i am truly sorry to anybody i have offended throughout my time here on this forum...and i am truly grateful for all the amazing friends i've made...every one of you has played some small part in keeping me going.
Thanks for everything!
Here's wishing you all a great christmas and a happy new year!
