Life should be so much more than staying alive. So often, I want to leave, to go on to a better existence. But it doesn’t go any further because I don’t want to hurt my mom & children. And yet what kind of existence is it to merely survive?
There’s periods for everything in life. Sometimes you’ll be barely surviving, but that doesn’t mean that at some point in the future you won’t (possibly) enjoy life, even if it’s just for a while. Not that i know much about life, otherwise i wouldn’t be in here (lol), but circumstances do change, so ending your life isn’t the only way of achieving a better existence, even if at times it sure looks like it is.
I hesitate to ask, but does your kinship mean more to you than just survival?
I’m not judging. It just sounds like you have something you care about more than rote survival.
Sometimes by simply surviving we find a latent ambition, hope, or purpose. Survival is the bare minimum you can do in life, and there is so much more to harness. I think that’s why people have a tendency to hand out the advice “give it time”.

I’m alive because I choose to be, not because I want to or have to.
All existence is just surviving.
Yeah, i think its better if life has some substance
