if you do something like you are suggesting you will hurt more people than you probably realize. You said you have a son, that should be enough to get anyone through anything, don't let that boy grow up without a father man up and live your life for that boy, your son. If nothing else in this world will make you want to live keep your son in mind. Keep your head up and know it will get better.

For a lot of people, divorce sucks. Then for some, seems like they don't even care. I kinda wish I was more like them.
For me, the hardest part about divorce was when the kids were gone. Man, the house felt so empty. And I would start feeling like a failure as a husband and father. But it's just your brain processing things in a depressed way. Don't believe it. I bet most of the people close to you don't feel anything close to the way you are feeling about yourself.
I feel for you. Unless you've been through it, tough to understand. Just keep plugging away, it always gets better eventually.

You sound like I did about a year ago. It's not really true though. You aren't burdening anyone and the world would not be a better place without you.
Bottom line: you either kill yourself and end up a number or fight through it and tell your grandchildren the most unbelievable story about how their grandfather was once close to killing himself.

people who have never been depressed have a hard time understanding the thoughts that can cross your mind. When you're down you don't even want to do anything anymore, including trying to better yourself.
Even though it may not seem like it now, you have to understand that time makes everything better. You'll learn from your mistakes and get stronger from them. When I was down, I couldn't see how I could ever be happy again, but now I am thankful for those rough days, because they made me a better and stronger person, and now I am happier than ever.
One mistake I made was feeling as though talking about my problems with other people would burden them, so I never told anyone what I was going through. If I had any advice to give you it would be to talk to someone close about it, and hold your head up and try to keep busy and moving. Things will work out.

Great post. Been there and there is hope.

I haven't given up because my life for damn sure ain't going to get any better if I do. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and eventually you'll get where you want to be.

I've had some dark thoughts and times. Then I realized that I had created the prison myself by focusing on things that don't matter. So I began fixing my focus on the things that do matter, and broke apart the things that were dragging me down. There'll be more storms on the horizon, for sure. But in the future I'll try not to throw the oars overboard.

I look back at the way I felt and I laugh at how stupid I was.
I was ready to give up all of the best things in life.

Be patient and time will heal it for you. However, no amount of time ever really heals someones grief when they lose a parent/loved one to suicide. I can PROMISE you first hand that no matter what, your family and friends will be hurt forever if you leave them.

You're not being stupid. I'd imagine most everyone that has been through a divorce with kids involved has felt something at least sort of similar to what you've described.
Posted on 6/26/14 at 3:18 pm to GEAUXmedic
It's not stupid as much as it is being controlled by your emotions, instead of controlling your emotions. Once you realize that the way you're feeling is tied to emotions, as opposed to the facts, it might make it easier for you to understand that there is light at the end of the tunnel, once the emotion passes.

Expectations about where you're supposed to be in life will kill you.
Spend your time worrying about who you want to be and what you want to do (within reason). Work on being a good friend, good dad, good employee, whatever. That is stuff you control.
Know also you don't have to get there today.
This. Control what you can control, and dont let past mistakes or unfortunate events get to you.
