I might be a little older than others using this page. I’m 36 married and 3 kids…One of them is 3 years old. But these thoughts always come into my mind that my family would be better off without me. The weight of it. I’ve struggled with these thoughts for years. My wife can find someone bettet

your 3 y/o is better off w/o you? His/her father?
I wouldn’t trust those thoughts OP (that they’d be better off). Sadly it doesn’t usually work like that. There’s quite a few older people here actually, I’m 53.
OP I could almost promise you that your family would NOT be better off without you. These thoughts you’re getting about your family getting along better without you and that your wife could do better are not the thoughts of a healthy, lucid mind. You are clearly very depressed and suicidal and this is poisoning your thoughts. Please get help, OP. Your family needs you
Hey man you aren’t alone. Older people do come on here, we aren’t usually as verbose as the younger people. I’m 41 and I have two boys 6 and 4 and I struggle with thoughts like this all the time. I know it’s hard but I want you to know that you aren’t alone in your struggle.
