ok.....i'll tell you a story
 

i've been seeing a few threads about richie's apparant problems

the man has just gone through a divorce,now that can really hurt some people to the point that they do things that they'll later regret......the man just needs the support of the boys and other friends and family....he'll get through it

now the story......

for some while my dad was suffering from cancer....lung and bowel.........while he was here i gave him all the support i could manage. well in february he finally passed away......my loss was immense........so immense that i too hit the bottle......well i've always liked a drink but not in those extremes......being a big family we stuck by each other and my hurt is fading along with the drinking.

my point is as i said above.......the guy gets the support he needs and he'll get over it.....just give him time

first off, sorry to hear about ur dad.

but ur right, time heals. right now, he needs lotsa support. breaking up with ur girlfren is already tuff, imagine gettin divorced. well, all we can do is just hope for the best for him.
