I went through most of my life thinking everyone was suicidal, or at least thought about it often, or at least sometimes. Not the case. I still find it hard to believe, but no most people don't think about it. So here we are. At least we all have that in common. Although, what if there are bpers out there who don't think about it? I have no idea.

The other thing I went through most of my life thinking was that thoughts and feelings were the same thing. Well, they're not. Still working on that one.

If you're doing the "stay strong" thing for your girls, then kudos to you Dan! That's the right thing to do. They need the stability. It's just what we try to do as parents so they can have a happy stable childhood. Despite my efforts, I still have some obvious symptoms in front of my kids. But I do try to keep things calm for their sake. I think I can be proud of myself for my efforts in that.
