- that is so true people just dont understand what you go through, and you are like me it is even worse if you have kids, although i was 15 when i had my first i was married with a daughter who had just started to walk that was in 89 then when i had my last one in 99 my next two kids where then still babies, but work is also hard, as they either treat you with kid clothes thinking that you are going to passout at any moment or would rather you were not there, but i must admit i have been on the railway for about eighteen years and have been treated better then some others that i wont mention, still we make the best of what we have, i must admit my way of dealing with my heart problum is to try and forget about it and get on with life, and only worry about it when and if i need too, anyway will try and talk again soon as off to bed now up at 4.30 early shift.
