Hit the buffers.

Hello all! Hope you are all keeping well. 

 

As usual, it has been a while since last posting on here. The recurring theme has always been losing interest in the hobby followed by regaining it for a short while, I guess it applies to all hobbies. 

 

I've hit the buffers well and truly this time due to personal circumstances. My marriage fell apart last November and the situation got really out of hand to the point where the ex got me arrested under false allegations, I was forced out of the house too. Her actions cost me the house, my job and my mental health was blown to pieces all because she lacked rationality and her family added fuel to the fire. Nearly 8 months on things have picked up, got my own place again and returned to my employer, there is still a way to go in regards to my mental health but we'll get there. 

 

I had to sell a good chunk of the fleet to get money together and also to get rid of reminders of my ex as she bought me a good number of them as gifts. My interest in the hobby has died off, I have no desire to restart and rebuild a layout but I do enjoy looking at other people's work.

I am very sorry about what has happened to you.  These kind of life events can leave lasting scars.  I truely hope you can find a way forward.

Likewise sorry to hear your story, but, flip the situation on it's head, try get back into modelling, doesn't matter if it's only in a small way, and use it it as an escape/release from the real world issues, it worked for me, albeit in slightly different circumstances.

Keep us informed, there's plenty of support hereabouts.

 

Mike.
