Counseling can be very, very helpful.

Screw the stigma; It's good to have someone to talk to in person.

Hey Pappy,

I went through a divorce 2+ years ago after a year of separation, living with my dad and stepmom and attempting to reconcile (while I gave her the house and everything she needed). I also had children (4 and 2 yo at that time) as well. I understand what you're feeling as my ex-wife began dating someone within a few weeks of the divorce decree. PM if you need to talk or vent. I started going to a counselor shortly after we separated (and continue to see her once every month) While my ex-wife and I never reconciled we are on extremely good terms (we're co-hosting my daughters 6th bday party this weekend). I give credit to the counseling for getting me through the tough times and my church as well. Praying for you. 

Thanks, guys.  I just need to find a counselor I connect with. I have my reasons for not believing in the system, and my wife finally understands that, but to her, it's too late.

I echo Stuhoo here. Counseling is a good thing. An impartial 3rd party can help shed light and better explain the feelings and emotions that the other is feeling. Sounds weird I know. But it is a positive...assuming both parties are open to making it work. 

 

Good luck my friend!  Prayers.

Thanks. Unfortunately, at this point she has someone else she's seeing. It'll be me only. Well, we have coparenting counseling that we attend, so I hope that helps. I do know she's taking a trip to Chicago this weekend with him. Makes me sick.

A friend from high school lost his battle with depression tonight.  Please pray for his wife, children, family, friends, etc.  Thx.

Of course. Unlike other boards, I've not met anyone from here, but I love this family all the same even though I've never met you all. Sorry for your loss. Depression is a hell of a thing. I'm there right now.

Please continue to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Not as serious as the above, but there was a fire in building right next to my office. Friend of mine is property manager and another friend’s business was burned out. + $1M damage so far. I was close enough to feel heat and mist from hoses. Glad to home oxygen warehouse didn’t catch! Prayers for all to rebound from this!a8e9b9af4c1387b1903f736f802bf987.jpg5c9bf91b9c1d17bf2535b3307d23a1b9.jpg030080727ca935674dbffc604eb2c6e0.jpg

All I can say about this one is damn. Great dude with a big family is gone. If anybody is ever hurting do not hesitate to reach out. To anyone. The pain you’re feeling now doesn’t compare to the pain you cause to your family and kids man. RIP Nathan and rest easy! Pappy, Natty is right. Keep your chin up man. Reach out. Don’t make it so you are the only one carrying this burden. It’s not worth it. Prayers

Thanks for the thoughts guys/gals. It means a lot. Time for an update:
 
Hope everyone is doing well! I want to thank each of you that said prayers for me. I've cursed God. Turned my back on Him, and yet, He still delivers. 2 weeks ago an old friend walked into the bar I was at. Signs were there, and I miserably failed at a kiss. I sent a simple text this past Saturday telling her good luck to her and the girls, as she coaches some of the higher level girls at Claira's gymnastics gym. Fast forward, we basically spent the rest of Saturday late afternoon/evening until about 230 Sunday morning together. Took her and her 6-year-old son to see Black Panther yesterday. Her son's dad is not in the picture, nor will he ever be, so it's a package deal, and I'm good with it. 

Folks here in the office have noticed I'm happy today. Not the fake happy I've been putting out there for the last however many months. Feelings are mutual between us, and she's agreed we'll take it slow. I still have a lot of anger towards Brit and need to work on things with my therapist, but, yeah. Pappy = happy. Never thought I'd be there again.

Love this small family we have here!

Cheers to a good week!

Happy for ya buddy!
