Glad to see you are working your way out of limbo. I've learned something recently that might help. Our society, family heritage, media, etc have conditioned us, especially men, to rely upon other people(lovers, spouses, parents, etc.) to determine our own self worth. This is a falacy, doomed to failure, and we are doomed to fail. It is impossible, yet it's the only way we know.
The truth is that we alone hold the power to make ourselves whole, to love ourselves, encourage, support, empower, and affirm our own value. God created us for love, and the first step is to love ones own self, just as we are, just as God loves us, thoroughly, deeply, and unconditionally. When we have achieved the self love that we were born to hold, then we will recognize the love that is in all else.
Take care Frank, you're struggle is an inspiration to many.
Love,
COG
