At times, it's not possible, but you have to make yourself. If you have family members that can (and are willing to) take a little of the load, do it. Bourbon helps.

You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want, but I’d like to hear more about that. I feel like I’ve come close when all the shite is hitting the fan at once. But for all I know, these kind of events were miles away from actual break point.

Selfish people, usually that’s why you have kids and a wife. You helped those little shits and they’ll return the favor if you were a good dad and husband.

I lost my (2) grandparents that raised me at 15 and Ann identical twin brother at 19. My mother was married (7) times I’m pretty sure I went through more than you before 19 than you’ll go through your whole life. Cocksucker

Some people aren’t willing to do what is necessary to truly change their lives for the better. Until they make that commitment themselves, your help will be wasted.

that is more than likely driven by shame and/or fear. If you would like to try and change that, and you should because you’ll be better off for it, that’s where you should start.
