Never be afraid to tread the path alone know which is your path and follow it wherever it may lead you, do not feel you have to follow in someone else's footsteps
As children one of this first things our parents teach us is that we have to share, to share our toys, to share our sweets, to share the love of our mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters........... we are taught to share no matter how hard it is....... we are taught to share.......... because well mannered children, always share without tears, without tantrums, without getting a hiding.......... we are taught to share.......
At what point in our lives do we forget this lesson and want to keep things for ourselves....... at what point does it become impossible to share, at what point do we become capitalists wanting more..... more.... more.... it becomes almost impossible to give something to someone else even though not only by law it is their right, but by the rules of fair play it is what they deserve ..................
How do you even begin to share 30 years of your life spent with one person, 30 years of memorabilia, 30 years of photos, 30 years of memories........... does he keep the good memories and you keep the bad ones, or visa versa....... or do you halve the memories he keeps the first 15 years and you the last 15 years , or maybe you share them by alternate years, so you each get some of the good and some of the bad memories ........ or should one keep the Christmas memories and the other the Easter memories......... how do you share a life time...........
According to law everything should be halved but this is easier said than done........ the concept is easy the assets are worth "X" and half of "X' is ............. but each wants to hold on to whatever they can.......... now as adults we become worse than children............... and the lessons so painstakingly taught by our parents are forgotten as we become "mercenaries" out to get everything that we can.......
Somehow, we have to dig deep to go deep inside and find those children........ to find the lessons taught long ago that well mannered children..... always share...............
This a tough post because I haven't been where you are and would not even begin to try and say something smart, or witty, or know-it-all. I can feel the pain though and I will keep you in my prayers and hopefully all will go as you need it to. You can have both of my shoulders to lean on! Hang in there friend.
