I've got a 16 year old daughter and a 12 year old son and it seems like both were born yesterday. I can promise you this...If you're looking for love, just wait until you look at your child in the eyes for the first time. I'll never forget those moments. If you're looking for a reason to live, you'll never find a better one than being there for your childs first words, first steps, first tee ball games, first time driving and being their shoulder to cry on when THEIR life get's tough. You may hate yourself but your child needs you. Don't rob him/her of a dad, brother. You want to feel loved and valued...Your best days are ahead, not behind dad!

You have no self awareness at all. MMmcreampie.
See, this is what happens when you wallow. Do you want to become Rog; a bitter, impolite, incorrigible, broken person?

He didnt come here to hear you preach and evangelize your shitty ideology. He came here for encouragement.

Wrong . He came here initially (several months ago) for encouragement and refused to even consider that the kid likely isn’t his.
Did he grab life by the balls and get back on the horse? Did he stop drinking and start exercising? No
This time, he flat out says the words of encouragement did nothing and he wants to end it now. But that he hopes others could use the advice
Time to stop pussyfooting around and for him to take control of his life

He has no motivation to do those things that can make a difference when he can keep coming to places like this and get the sympathy he so craves.

I appreciate those who have typed supportive comments in the past. Keep doing that for people on here. You never know how much it helps.
Brother,
I just got off our company regroup meeting after Thanksgiving break. One of the most somber calls we have ever had.
We had to let an employee go about a month back. Could sometimes be a nice guy, but was a closeted gay man most of his life and then went into a life of debauchery. Had some bright spots, but he let his personal life interfere with his work and relationship with his kids and ex-wife too much and was given the chance to resign with a positive reference or be fired. He was estranged from both his kids (they did not take his behavior post coming out of the closet well, with reason.)
I was just told that he took his own life Friday night.
His estranged children are still mourning and having to deal with his death. My company still had him on life insurance for the rest of the year and are having to do all the funeral arrangements.
None of us were at peace with him, but knowing that he died thinking nobody cared, (which simply isn't true) will eat at me for a while.
He drove me nuts and I was happy he wasn't working here any more, but never in a million years do I or my co-workers wish he wasn't still alive and finding a way to thrive.
There is not a person on earth that is happy he's gone, and even though you think that may be the case it's not for you either.
For a short reading and plea, see the gentleman who survived jumping off the golden gate bridge.

You keep thinking you can't go on, but look at the distance from the very first time you posted on here about this. How many days has that been? So do it again. Make it that many days and see how your life looks. And when that day comes, do it again. And see how your life looks. You see the point. If you can survive for weeks during your lowest of lows, it's proof you can do this.
Not let's talk loved ones. You said 8-10. If you died, those 10 people are devastated. And the people around those 10 people has to deal with their mourning. And maybe emotions gets the best of them. Then more people. Death creates a ripple. Never think it's just 10 people. And don't ever think the people around you aren't affected by suicide. Your former coworkers, your enemies, your old classmates and teachers... No one is unaffected by death.
Hang in there. On a planet that have 7-8 billion people, don't give 1 person the power you are giving her to hurt you. Instead give your daughter that power to save you.

You're in a brutal rut, were wronged by someone who you should've been able to trust. Your life blew up and you had very little choice in the matter. fricking sucks, man. It's not fair.
to call something fair or unfair, right or wrong, just or unjust, is to presume the existence of an ultimate judge.
So, you just lied to yourself.

You need to get help. The moment anyone contemplates self-harm, professional help is needed. Go to talk to someone in person, a family member, a priest, a psychiatrist. Posting shite online will only make things worse.

There's no room for calling anything unfair in a materialist/ "dog eat dog" /random chance / nietzschean universe.
But if Christ is God then love is supreme. And the concept of unfair is suddenly a real thing.

Morality doesn't require religiosity, nor a judge. Many people on this Earth, including myself, manage to judge themselves and uphold their own moral codes without the threat of hell or the condemnation of some deity hanging over their heads.
This young man was wronged by his wife. He is not responsible for his wife's immoral actions, yet he is the one stuck with having to bear the greatest burden. Thankfully, a burden is just a burden, it's not a sentence. He has to take small, low-impact steps to slowly start to come to terms with his new path, become comfortable with his new reality, and find solid ground via the things which, beyond his unfair past, bring him even the slightest hint of joy. It's not easy, but he can do it....I think he WILL do it, and it starts by taking just one small step in the right direction to create momentum.

Start thinking.
Do you have aims? Do you have goals?
Why?
That should help.

I'm going to leave it at that so as to not muddle this thread anymore than I already have.
Your idea of God is not mine, and I really do care about the young man. I hate that he's getting bombarded with uncontextualized bible verses from his family, and I hope that in his emptiness he can find that slightest hint of joy, which I pray witll ultimately lead him to union with Christ--the one who cares for even the seemingly insignificant sparrow.

Never start with religion unless the person who is in the struggle wants to go there.
Address the current day to day and their needs first.
Unfortunately this is not a short game.

I care about you man. Please get a hotel and come to San Antonio some time. I will show you a good time. I know it’s not too far away for you
