Over the past 6 months my life has change in so many ways. my wife of 22 years left, took the kids and has been hiding them ever since. I have tried calling the local law but no one really gives a shit. I am a good dad and have done nothing to warrant her actions in reagrds to her taking the kids. i am working with a lawyer but the court system takes so long. I am so depressed and cant seem to turn it off or be able to go to a happy place. I have also lost my buisness thanks to her and feel like I have nothing left. How do you deal with these life issues and come out okay. everyone tells me that there no where to go but up. I don’t feel that way. I find myself looking for ways to end it all. It seems to be all i am thinking about these days. if anyone has ideas on how to find a little peace while in the middle of a strom, please tell.

Sooner or later those kids of yours will be old enough to find you..they will be adults maybe but you are looking and trying and that’s what you should do. I could not imagine someone taking the kids away unless something happened so bad that she feared her life and the kids lives. I fear my life and my kids lives but ive not taken them away from their fathers. They have rights too. I believe God will take care of them and I would pray every chance I could if anything like that happened to me. I pray whenever my kids are away from me..even if they are at school.
You cannot kill yourself because you have kids. Neutralize your mind. Read about equanimity. You are strong enough to bear the burden of this pain. Your kids will not be able to carry with them the burden of your death. Trust that your pain will pass; know that the pain of your death would be felt forever. Grow stronger in mind, body, and spirit through yoga, meditation, and reading. Go outside. Join a group activity. If u do not feel like it, push yourself. You do not live for yourself, you live for your children. Imagine how you would feel if you learned a year down the road that one of your children committed suicide over this life hurdle; u would wish to god that u could let them know that nothing is forever. Imagine life with your grand kids. Put together a memory photo album or a scrapbook with photos, drawings, or printed pictures of every memory u have of the times u spent with your children. U celebrate them. When u see them again, u can give it to them. Never give up. Volunteer at a hospital with dying children or a local shelter for abused children so that u can make a difference in another child’s life. God bless. Keep in touch and updated. Thank you for opening up.
