Divorce, and Dr. Phil: DEAL!

Nigel comments that Casey did Dr. Phil after all.

Casey expounds at length on the process, in a post that has since been deleted:

On Saturday I did a whole day of field taping for the Dr. Phil show. I’m pretty used to the drill by now. All the practice in the past. I think this segment will be the best one yet.

On Wednesday I’m going into the studio. I’m excited. My first studio experience! (Well, except Suzi Orman, but it was a remote call-in studio). The show will air in a few weeks.

But he's burying the lede:

Lets go back a few days. I found out from my parents that I got served divorce paperwork.
...
This is it. I am getting divorced. Man, do I hate the sound of it. Sounds so foreign. We had such a great start. We both believed in “till death do us part”. Is this really happening to me?

Accepting reality is tough sometimes. My emotions did a number on me last couple of days. I started thinking about anything I can do. Anything to get her back.

Accepting reality is tough? How exactly would you know that? My absolute favorite line is the first one here:

But how am I going to pay off my $500K of defaulted debt with a JOB?

Doing the foreclosure book / blog (and related services) is still my best opportunity to accomplish that. Especially now that I have Damion Lupo as my partner.

My rhetorical question would be, how am I going to pay off this debt WITHOUT a JOB? Once again, income is "limiting". Because actual income is a concrete number, not having income means you have unlimited "potential income".

Later, in a comment on that same thread, he whines:

Man, I still wonder if being back online is a huge mistake. I couldn’t sleep last night, thinking about it.

I know she’s giving me a clear sign that its over. But if we were still together she wouldn’t want me back online. She doesn’t want any of this publicity and wants to live a quiet life.

What if she is just testing me to see if I’m willing to REALLY give all this stuff up for her?

Because I’m definitely willing. Before I wasn’t. Now I am. So maybe I’m shooting myself in the foot by coming back.

This is insane!

That’s OK, I’ll ask Dr. Phil about this. Hopefully he will give me some direct advice.
