For so long now I have kept up the hope and faith that I would get past the obstacles that keep me down. I’m a good person. I am kind and charitable. I’ve tried everything I can to succeed in my business and continue to fail. I have sacrificed much to help my wife reach her goal. Now she is showing signs of turning her back on me. My son has turned his back on me in spite of all I’ve done for him over the years. I feel so alone. So very, very alone.

I am very alone too Martin. I can’ t pretend to know exactly what you are going through, my experiences are different, but I am a kind person and want to be here for you if you need a friend to talk to. I can’ t offer much as I am planning on ctb very soon but I can listen and hopefully make you feel less alone while I am still here.
Father’s Day is tough! The low point of my life was last year, when none of my kids gave me a card or so much as wished me well. Similar to your story, I’d helped my wife along and she turned her back on me, and having the kids ignore that day was just about crushing.
One thing I did that you can try, give yourself a week. Mark the day on the calendar, tell yourself that you are going to re-evaluate your feelings then. I did so, and when the week was up I decided to move things along in a different direction. I have much to regret but at least I don’t regret that.
Yeah MartinTried what she said. ^ I’m here too on most days.
I am not a father, but I will say that I did not have a nice father. Coming from a very abusive environment, I will say that it is very sad that someone who is a caring father (as you have mentioned) like you have to experienced this loneliness. I hope that your wife and son will notice all your love and kindness towards them. Do you think that maybe a heart to heart conversation will at least help this situation for a little bit? Is is possible that you could talk to them regarding this matter? I hope that they will hear you out. Please do not lose hope.
