Frequently in life we have the butch and sundance situation.Take a leap of faith or die.It sounds like you were there..............Just remeber that all you need is a roof over your head food in your belly and a family you love.What else in life is needed or important.........NOTHINGso if you lose everything it is a lesson life has thrown your way.You just keep getting up dusting yourself off and getting back on the horse until it is broken.Your best bet is to find a mentor.
