Guys,
I'm going to be taking a break from iRacing due to some personal issues dealing with my living situation. The long story short is that for the last seven years I've been working as a live-in caregiver for my Grandmother. She is suffering from Alzheimer's and about six weeks ago or so she started to exhibit new behaviors that has my family worried and we have started to look for a care facility for her. However, the wound that has cut me the deepest and that has caused me to go through a bit of an emotional roller coaster is that nearly a month ago my Grandmother could no longer remember who I was. She thinks of me as a stranger now and worst yet she looks at me suspiciously and threatens to call the police to remove me. Thankfully her threats are hollow as she couldn't figure out how to work a phone if she wanted to call the police in the first place. That being said, I've been angry, depressed, frustrated, etc for a while now. I noticed a change in my personality around Week 12 last season and it wasn't until yesterday that I began to realize that I'm going through something that I need to workout.
Although I didn't say it in the video (which I meant to but I forgot as I was recording) is that I owe an apology to the Band of Other's crew and to the league as a whole. My outburst on track last week at Sebring was a symptom of what I'm going through. So I apologize for that. Also to Ryan for bailing mid-season like I am. I think he knew it was coming but he didn't know the extent of what I have been dealing with.
