The mantle of greatness on my shoulders is getting heavy. It sounds horrible but I totally get why so many of us fall to either affairs, alcohol, or divorce.
Its just SO unrelenting. Its a nightmare. I have no energy to do anything after a 60 hour work week, cooking, cleaning, walking youngest to bed until 11 pm and then waking up at 5. One day off a week. I’m just so fking over it 🤢
I bagged any hope of a career. I’m not going to advance, or ever make anymore money. But I have a job that is flexible enough to give me time to care for my kids. I’ll never retire. I’ll just get fired and never get another job when I’m too old.
Found I pretty much had to give up anything not helping me. So No alcohol, trying to do without any fried food. Since I’m always tired been going without extra caffeine, decaf coffee always.
But pretty much all that leave me slightly less failing to get everything done.
Basically I just look at being a dad as thing I get to do.
My wife is abusive so that really drags down the equation.
It’s okay if you don’t want to answer but I wanted to ask what makes you stay married to your wife if she’s abusive?
Women get the default on primary custody of children. It an effective line of attack to threaten to take tge kids.
