For Men Everywhere...

[HPDblues[TK]]

Seth BUSINO is a good friend of mine. I had the pleasure of being his executive officer when he was the detachment leader over at the Mos Eisley Police Department.

 

He is currently recovering from the effects of a divorce. This post has nothing to do with Star Wars, sandtroopers, or stormtroopers. Some had critized him. Some had already written him off. All I can say is that if you've never been there...you're lucky.

 

I posted the following words on the MEPD in a thread that banned Seth from posting on the MEPD forums. I don't know how far he's come or how far he's got to go, but as the post reads, I'm proud of him for what he's accomplished so far:

 

"Divorce IS a terrible thing. I had the chance to speak to Seth via cellular phone several months ago. I told him at that time to be strong because as a man, especially a U.S. male, he's gonna go through some struggles and tough times - I'm sure that ALL men do.

 

Divorce IS a terrible thing. I was very, very fortunate to go through my own divorce while I was stationed in Korea. My ex-wife left with her young boyfriend so I was free to work out my issues by drinking excessively and being comforted by dozens of beautiful American AND Korean women.

 

Divorce IS temporary. I am very proud of Seth for stepping up and re-engaging. It takes a whole lotta intestinal fortitude to get back in the game. I remember that I didn't care about anything in life and I didn't give a "rat's an impolite person" about anyone. You blame yourself for what happened - even though it may not be your fault, you doubt your credibility as a man, you seek revenge, and then the most dangerous part of recovery, you seek self-destruction.

 

I am proud of you Seth. Take your time my young compadre. Take ALL the time that you need. I've been there bro. Remember my friend it does get better..."life is better than unlife"."

 

Aloha,

 

T

ePS: This is from the POV of a man who survived a divorce. I don't mean to lessen the effects that divorce has on women...divorce is a terrible thing.

I've only spoken with Seth once in a very short PM, from the reply i got he seems a really nice guy. I was shocked when i heard he had been banned from the MEPD boards. Seth, if you're there, hang in bud.

Just read the thread in question at MEPD.

 

That's a sad situation.

Hope it works out for everyone involved.

[Heatshock[501st]]

aye - hope everything works out in the end.

caught the tail end of this at CE forums, and traced threads in MEPD

I can see the situation from both points of view - dont think either party ie the wider community or Seth are right/wrong.

 

From wot I gathered, Seth has always been very conscientious and reliable in the past. At the end of the day, this bit here is the hobby, and real life always takes precedence in my book.

 

I hope everything turns out for the best for all parties concerned. I may not know u in real life Seth, but my thoughts and prayers to you in this difficult time in ur life mate.

I may not know u in real life Seth, but my thoughts and prayers to you in this difficult time in ur life mate.

 

I second that.

Being a single parent, I can relate to being in that scenario. I coped the same as you and many others have T, with lots of alcohol and easy women, something I would not recommend, but can sympathize with. It does'nt happen overnight by any means, but it does get better eventually, not something that anyone in that position really wants to hear though, lol. It'd be a shame to loose such an integral trooper from this.

Seth was and has been one of the very first to greet and to answer all questions i had. in the very start here and in most other forums. hang in there man. have and will be praying.

Thx for all your help.
