Here is a 2x4. Brace yourself. Kevin, you do not need anyone else to make you happy. You are the key to your happiness. It isn't your wife. It isn't your children. You are now putting your daughters in the position of being the people who keep you afloat when you feel like you are drowning in despair. STOP IT! As others have said, you need therapy. You need it bad and you need it NOW! Stop looking for others to complete you and make you feel better about yourself. All of the outings, your daughters being over, and your wife tossing you a civil bone every now and again are not going to ever make you feel better about yourself. YOU and only YOU control your happiness. LEARN IT....LIVE IT!
"It is excruciating pain. It is the pain of separation, the pain of loss, the pain of dreams and expectations unrealized. It is the loss and death of a mirage."
