Damn man that's horrific. Grand Junction isn't really well known but a surprising amount of bad things happen in that area. I was working on a drilling rig with a guy from GJ once. He helped get his daughter's boyfriend hired on at our company on the drilling rig right next to ours. The boyfriend goes insane one day, kills his girlfriend's child, (my coworker's grandchild) and goes on the run from law enforcement. He ended up being caught in New Mexico and brought back to GJ for trial. It was really messed up and very sad.

When you frick up your life it leaves you with years and years of self loathing, regret, guilt, and shame. I could forgive everyone else that had ever wronged me in life. But I couldn’t forgive myself for years. Thankfully my faith led me to being able to finally forgive myself. After all....if God can forgive me....I am certainly not above God and can forgive myself for my mistakes.
Oh, I have been there. Every screwup in my life was self inflicted and it had adverse affects on other people.
I found that people were amazingly forgiving, and loving through the process. I've reconciled with everyone I possibly could and while I can never make amends, I have taken responsibility and started again.
Spiritual rebirth is the most profound thing a person can go through. Anger, negativity, worry are much diminished and I finally feel at peace.
No human can save us from our troubles, we have to come to a point where we can find peace regardless of circumstance. Sure there's ups and downs but on a much more even keel. I hold no grudges or anger towards anyone anymore, including myself.

Regardless of external battles, the dysfunction becomes internal. People can help your situation, but they can't make you find peace or meaning.

I wouldn't say I totally got over it.

I don't know Roger. My son completely changed my life and changed me for the better. I've never experienced the magnitude of love that I shared with my son. Instead of being on the OT I would have cooked him breakfast and we would be watching cartoons together right now. I looked forward to every Saturday morning with him. My family all saw how much he affected me. When we lost him my family genuinely thought I would tap out on life. The first month after losing him I felt like I was just waiting for the numbness to go away so I could start to feel anything again and do what my family expected. I still have no peace or meaning and I don't expect to ever have either of those. I will just keep moving forward with life.

Your best days are ahead of you.

Wow. I just saw it’s been 5 months already. So much love to you and your family.

If anyone thinks they've been through some stuff, they need to come read this thread for some perspective.

Except for the post some idiot made about a football game being his lowest point in life.
After several posters have opened up about some of the most horrific things that can happen to people.

He was probably just lightening the mood some.
To be fair, to some of those young players, that may have been their lowest point (up until that point in their life).

I agree that people coming into your life an make it better, but it's still about how you choose to feel, love etc. Lots of people have children and can't stand them.
I'm a perpetual softy. I love kids and dogs. They always make me smile. But I choose how close to allow people in my life.

I honestly don't know how you do it. I think the loss of a child would cause me to crumble. I cry just thinking about it. You're stronger than me in that regard.

Still waiting on a day you, me and that reformed bama fan will target practice on some old duck decoys.

Yep, when you're in your 20's the low point of your life might be dropping a pass or breaking up with a GF. It's an illusion that we control our lives, we just control our actions.

Anytime you get over to Madisonville.
Got some .45s, .44s, a 10MM, and some other stuff.
Suggest we go before cocktail hour, just to be on the safe side.

I like to think my own struggles have made me stronger. We were also very broke through my teenager years so I know what it's like to have nothing. That knowledge helps drive me when I'm feeling lazy or sorry for myself. Add my family and the responsibility I feel and there's no chance of me slowing down.
