27. "Realistically my dreams are pretty much dead."

You are quoting me. (Heh) I'm in the same boat. My dreams are gone and there is no getting them back. It has ruined me to the point where I just cannot see any reason to keep trying to do anything. EXCEPT... as you also note, there is another involved. Which makes it tough to just check out, even if you want to every single day. I want to. But, I don't want to. It is constant pulling in opposite directions that wears one out. I wish I had a good answer on what to do, but know that I am in the same boat and understand what you are saying completely.
