    I have a big grin on my face and a tear in my eye reading your post.

    Happy Birthday, Jack

    I am so pleased for you that your children have acknowledge that you are a GREAT dad.

    I do really hope and pray that all this mess can be sorted by Christmas.

    It is so nice to see that you are in a better place at the moment.

    Sorry to hear your daughter did not get the job.

    Enjoy the rest of your birthday and have a lovely weekend.

    Sounds like the kids are much more comfortable and accepting and that's all good.

    If your pension has been reviewed, surely that of Mrs Jack should be updated too?

    Happy belated birthday Jack, if there is anyone that deserves a mexican and a great night out is you, I have read and keep updated with all the thread, don't post because I really do not know about all the laws, rules and regulations but I know you are a great person, very patient and deserve a million times better than what has been happening to you, I hope you find peace, a lovely new love and a mountain of happiness:D
