great post/read. While my life definitely hasn't been as hard as what you've described (my parents also divorced, but at a time in my life where I was able to understand why), I can understand using sc2 as a sort of "escape" for a couple hours of a bad day/week. I'm also a university student, and nothing relieves pressure more than some sc2 with some good friends.

Thanks for taking the time to read it! :D Now that I've written this a big weight has lifted. I can finally put it all in the past. I look forward rather than behind now. It is an amazing feeling!

I'm seeing Of Monsters and Men in a few months :D 5/5 for the music

Glad to hear of someone improving instead of becoming rage crazed by losses!

i went though a terrible breakup with my girlfriend at the time and it devastated me, for some reason i picked up sc2 again and started playing and also found day9's dailies and it was like a warm blanket being put over me. his non judgemental humor and way of making improving in sc2 fun is really something i enjoy. plus lets be honest starcraft has the best manner community ever

+1 for the music. would love to see them live.

You hit the truth on the emotional management part I think, I also went through this phase and I think it helps me alot dealing with things in real life, when shits hit the fan, I'm usually the calmest mofo in the room :D
