i have issues with anxiety and i'm overly emotional sometimes... anti-depressants just take the edge off of things. i wouldn't say that they make you happy, just a little more apathetic. i don't think they're addicting... i usually start taking them when things get a little too nutty, and then i stop a few months later cause they kind of make me feel like a robot.
Positive -
I just sold a rental house... i only made maybe $8k since I took forever to fix everything but.... $8k is better than losing $.
The weather here (central PA) is nice and warm like it is for others.
I worked out at lunch (i do that at most lunches though). I will most likley go back and do some cardio tonight since I don't have my kids.
More positive - my youngest son stays with me every Tuesday and most Thursdays..... Oldest goes back to Mom's weekdays due to his hectic school schedule..... so the 4th grader stayed at my place last night.

do you appreciate your kids more since you dont have them all the time as opposed to if they lived with u constantly?

my house is smaller than the other house so we are closer together when we visit.... i am with them 3 hours tues and thurs (the little sleeps over...big one goes home)..plus every other weekend... so i would guess that i am nicer / more patient with them and i do go out of my way on small things to make their day (I make sure I have a particular kind of breakfast....nothing fancy... just little things)..

on a negative note, my wife thinks i am out to get her when I am not. it sucks. i am not a mean person at all other than my constant complaining about people who abuse the system....
the children i know from separated parents usually get treated really well by each parent as a battle for their love, etc.
in any case, i apologize for bringing negativity to the thread.

hopefully we will never "battle" for their love or outright spoil them just to get some love...... the kids have always been a little bit spoiled so hopefully we will continue that pattern, but not turn them into monsters.
