i have a strong feeling about this topic i grew up in an inactive home which later fell apart, my dad was sick and he, i believe, he tried to hide from his illness by over using his pain medication.. this tore my house apart, while this was going on i began to date a girl from a very devoted home. from the beginning they tried to convert me set me up with LDS missionaries the whole bit. i didnt budge. neither did they. but this girl stayed with me it got serious we got to the point that we decided the only way we could stay together is if we got pregnant. so we did, boy did this just reinforce all her parents had been talking about, and during all this time my dad got intoxicated and drove into a tree, he died on the way to the hospital, another thing for these people to look down on me for, and wow did they feed her full of ****, so me and this girl get married, six months pregnant, i worked my *** off to supportour little family, her family did everything they could so she would rely on them they even took her car away so if she had to go somewhere she had to call her mom to get around. so she was forced to spend more time with her family and they really turned up the trash talk. we had the baby, wonderful, i gave up everything i had so i could take care of them, friends, my motorcycle, i did a good job, but each day my wife spent away from me she began to slip and feed in to what was being said about me, my family, my past, and my future, finally she sided with them and left, decided they were more important that us sticking together as a family, i lost that fight, i got judged, labeled, and chastized because to them i was not good enough, boy did this do a number on my depression i was already dealing with, hiding from, now it took over, and things went more than down hill. since then i have been through so much more, in and out of the hospital trying every treatment possible, and still fighting, this did not help how these people looked at me, so now i still have to deal with their **** talking fighting for my visitation with my girl but this is something i will have to fight through until my girl can make the choice on her own. im sorry i just rambled on so much this is just one of those things i have not talked about much, thank you, jeremy
