Not overnight...

 ...words a friend said when I got back with my first wife after a three month separation in 1993. "It did not happen overnight and the issues that affected your relationship will not be solved overnight".  Wise words. Truth.

The same can be said for my breakdown in 2000. I didn't just suddenly lose my mind overnight but rather a culmination of multiple issues, events over many multiples of years. And without question there was no resolution overnight. I still remember my daughter agreeing with me years later(perhaps ten?) that I was never the same again after  the breakdown.

If I were to write about everything that contributed to the event, this topic could easily go the length of the A History of God and Me series. But heaven forbid that. I could not endure it and the few readers who read this blog might not endure it. But a context of understanding with plenty of interesting stops along the way to crazy land is yet to come.  Fasten your seat belt.

Stay tuned.
