Its been a rough ride here lately, and this weekend was even rougher. My 10 year old son told me to not contact him. That i was bugging him. When i asked my ex what was up she told me that he didn't look at me as a father, and that her new husband is taking care of him. I didn't drink over it, but i can tell you this it has definitely blown the wind of good spirit out of me.

All I can say Franklin is that it seems like eternity but they do come around - I’m sorry you’re hurting

That seems tough man. It seems pretty painful and impossible to mend. And it’s a kick in the gut.
I struggle with certain areas of my life working also. And I’ve been sober 22 years. It’s like that for me as well. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
One tool I’ve found useful is prayer. To ask that they be happy, prosperous, have peace of mind, and blessing being there wildest dreams. And my life has gotten better I went from having nothing but a guitar the clothes on my back and an old beat up car. To having an apartment friends and basically everything I ever wanted. There are still some challenges I have to work through but I rely on the basics I learned in the beginning and it carries me through. Good luck! And peace be with you!

That’s a heavy blow, and it hurts deep when it comes from the people we love most. But the fact you didn’t drink over it? That took strength.. Keep holding the line. You’re doing the hard work now, and it will mean something later. Keep showing up. You matter more than you know. Try to keep your head up
