I am still not right now but slowly getting there

Never suffer in silence

Hats off to Chris Kirkland
Hats off to you too Sludge, I'm sure it can't be easy to talk about your ordeal. I remember when your dad was ill, and some of the family problems at the time. It was obvious back then that you were shouldering a lot of the burden, but what can you do? You had a responsibility to your dad, and from my limited understanding of events, I reckon that you did him proud.

Stay strong mate - I know you only through this forum, and there have been times you have had me in stitches. It's good to see you posting here again and if it helps to unload some shit onto a complete stranger then I am always available.
