Title: Where'd Solstice go?
Post by: Solstice on January 24, 2012, 06:54:27 am

Guys, I just want you to know, on a personal level, when I make a commitment, I like to do my very best to keep it.

I've made a commitment to being Furious - and I'm proud to call myself an Angel.

Unfortunately things on the home front have prevented me from playing SWTOR at all.  My wife was in the hospital for a bit, they thought it was viral meningitis...we were blessed that those tests came back negative, but they still don't know what happened or where the chronic migraines were coming from.

Well we do now.  My wife dropped 30 pounds in 3 months b/c of how her district boss was treating her, shady cash handling stuff that could've gotten her in a lot of legal trouble if they tried to pin it on a manager, and fighting an uphill battle with only a few co-workers actually caring about inspections, etc.  Long story short, her job sucked beyond that of mere complaining. To top that off my daughter has been having some bully problems with the boys at school, and the teachers aren't helping much.

So for her health, we decided it was time to leave that job, and we've been focusing on our family for a bit.  I know you guys/gals understand that.  I need to be there for my family right now, and I will join the game when I can.

I understand that this may affect my member status, and I accept that.  I wanted to be candid with you first and foremost. Go get 'em. :)

Thanks for letting us know. I'm a firm believer in doing something you love, so I'm glad to hear your wife got out of that stressful job.

As we state in every interview Real Life comes first thanks for letting us know and I hope to see you around once you have everyting sorted out.  Dont be a stranger though you dont have to be playing the game to be part of the community.

We got your back dog.  Get your family stuff straight.  We'll be here when you want to play.  Also, thanks for being a good Dad/Husband.  The world is better when there are more of those.

Just an update, my wife and kid were in a bad car accident, and my dad passed the next morning.  They are ok, and life has been hectic for quite a while now.  My contract at work may expire in 2 months or so, so I've been trying to work the most I can.  I wish I could get one to cut down some Sith (cheaper than therapy lol) but it hasn't been easy.

I know God's got me, but it hasn't been my year for SWTOR regrettably.  I hope all is well with you all-kick some butt for me.

Much love :)
