My friend always has awesome advice and he sent this today. I really think it applies to my husband and alot of people that hurt themselves as well as others:
"When you live w/a spirit of hate you are unable to see past the hate you have for yourself & block your own blessings b/c you constantly do things to hurt yourself & others, even those you want to love. Until you can truly love & live with yourself you will always struggle living with & loving others, & deny those who want to the opportunity including your family"
