Hello everyone!

Almost a year ago, I came here to talk about my life going upside down. I lost a 'great' girlfriend, someone I thought I could finally trust and allow into my son's life. That did not go well.

Anyway, that time of my life was very difficult but I really got some great perspective from the people on here, so I just wanted to thank you all once again. I feel like I'm in a really good position in my life right now and everything feels awesome. I've put all the pieces together and my son and I are really happy. He's doing great and is healthy.

So, yeah, this was more of a thank you, rather than update, but I really mean it. I was really confused and some of the advice I got on here was instrumental in sorting that mess out. Thanks Reddit. Take care.

P.S. I'm thinking of getting us a dog. (What do you guys think of Border Collies ?)

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: A year later, my son and I are both doing much better. I've moved on and am at a much stable position in life. Thank you to all those who helped me when my life was a mess.
