What I could not forsee was beginning to come out of that funk with my kids. To hear them say that they love me ~ without someone telling them to do so. Without me saying it first. That high of mine occurred about a week ago. What a high it was too! I could not have predicted that would occur. as when I was in my low, I was absolutely convinced that no one could love me. If I heard it from someone, I became angry & immediately presumed that they were full of beans. But now that I have worked years to win back my girls' attention & respect (and it has not been easy!), I can see that they truly mean it. With that, I cannot hurt my girls by causing more pain. They've endured too much already.

I'm not done re-building my life, as you can see. I still have strong feelings against myself. Maybe I always will ~ I don't know. But I am working to re-build.

I'd recommend that you start with re-building yourself as well. You may need to start with hospitalization. Or, maybe a new med is the beginning for you. Please do see a doc today though. You need help to get through the misery.

Very best wishes for you!
Thanks - I don't think the world would be better without me. I just thought that my family would be as I said above to another who helped me.
Thank you for all that say to help - I know deep down that I will be a man that they can be proud of - I hope I can lead them to a happy future.
My son said he loved me just in the way he looked on Monday - I still have hope.
Thanks for this!
