*ncle bob's profile:

I'm a 55 year old retired auto worker.

I live on Vancouver Island B.C.

I have 2 failed marriages.

I am currently single and intend to stay that way.

I had 2 children from my first marriage.

My son committed suicide on Feb 25th. 2010 aged 33 years.

He leaves behind 3 sons.

My daughter aged 30 (single) lives in Ontario

I think I've made just about every mistake a person can make,

so I have a lot of experience to draw on.

I'm just a guy who want's to help others live a better life than I have.
