My stresses are nothing compared to some of the stuff in this thread

I left a good job to go back to school full-time for something totally different. Though, I'm not 100% sure this new career I've chosen is right for me. I really want to follow my passion, but I know it's a pipe dream.

Well let's see:
1. Finalizing a divorce and probably will be fricked up from the hell that she put me through
2. Have two small boys that I worry about
3. Trying to figure out how to afford everything
4. Worry about what kind of guy my ex might bring around my kids one day
5. I have been out of the dating game for a while, and I wasn't too smooth to begin with. I'm a good looking guy, but I have zero game.

Incredibly I left my old career to spend more time with them....4 days before their mom walked out. So, I lost my career and spend less time with them now than before, it was a fricked up twist. Luckily I've reconciled the dad part of the problem, still working on the professional part which, admittedly, makes me feel like less of a father and a man at this point

Been there, the hardest thing to reconcile with is that you have no control over what she does from now on, especially romantically. Also, realize that she loves them just like you do and just like you wouldn't bring a POS around them, neither would she. The way I dealt with it was fricking a lot of chicks and drinking, don't do that. I started getting better when I focused on being as good a dad to my boys as I could be and staying positive every day (that's the hardest part)
Things will work out but not without some pain and patience. Good luck bro

My son has learning delays in the line of autism. Hardest thing in my world to watch videos when he was 1 calling me dada and talking up a storm to now where he doesn't speak at all. He's the most easy going kid ever, but him being perfectly healthy one day and waking up the next not being able to talk eats at me every day. Worry constantly about what he will be able to accomplish in his future.

I've got an incredible support system anchored by a fireball of a girlfriend. Like I said in an earlier post, I interviewed this morning at a place that was right up my alley industry wise but is much more stable and traditional than my old job. Hopefully I'll get the job and be working in the next 10 days or so because I'm about to lose my mind

It's ok man. You'll recover. Go into monk mode for a few months and focus on yourself and your job when you don't have the boys. Go to the gym, take dance lessons, learn something new.

I've never been the one to sleep around, although it will be hard to resist. I just would like to find a sexy woman that isn't a liar and is faithful. And I always put my kids first.

There's a lot of strength evidenced in this thread.

This thread has prompted me to do a mid-day gratitude check. Thank you for posting it whether you are really an 82 year old man or not.
And for those of you struggling, when you go to bed at night try to be thankful for everything you have and want to wake up having. You'll find that the list is longer than you might imagine.

Work can be stressful at times. But overall I am fine with pretty much everything. As most would say, I could use ALOT more sex with ALOT of different women. Starting with my co-worker and her superfine arse.
