it's probably just the situation.. something like that can really push you away from the things you enjoy doing most. i'm sure you'll come back around and regain your interest once your heart has healed a little

It's just the situation making you feel that way. Went through that myself, I know with the kids it makes it worse, but it will get better.

I go through spells where I'm not interested in my car and let it set for awhile.  Its natural to get bored of something but I've had my car too long to ever let it go.  I know that it can set under a the car cover and wait patiently for awhile if life gets in the way of the car hobby.

I dunno, I rather think I'd be looking for a distraction in times like this, and turning wrenches on a pproject could provide just such a distraction. Matter of fact I'd be buying things I knew would have made her mad (in this case of my ex, this means "anything"). We all deal differently, though...

I agree with the the other guys. The situation you're in is to blame. Just hang in there, it defenately gets better. When I went through it, besides my family and friends, I knew I had my T-Bird and it wasn't going anywhere.

It's the situation. When everything around you seems to bring you down, the cars will end up being a part of that. Just keep them, and you'll get your mojo back. It takes time. Don't rush things.

Remember, don't make any decisions when it comes to getting rid of things you have always had a passion for. If you start having those thoughts, that should be a giant red flag for you that means you're making (or about to make) poor decisions. Most people don't lose interest for something they love in a few days. It's other things weighing on you.  Like being sick with the flu and not even wanting to eat your absolute favorite food. It's not that you lost the taste for it, you have something getting in the way of what you like. Fix what is getting in the way, and the rest will take care of itself.

Have you spoken to a lawyer yet? If so, what did they say? If not, then why haven't you?

havent heard from the lawyer yet, called legal aide and they were supposed to get back with me.  things are kind of looking up for us so I want to wait and see what happens first before I slap her with a court date.
