I totally understand what everyone is saying, but the thing is I dont know HOW to be happy when my entire life was centered around my kids and her and having a family is what made me happy and now Im losing it.

I could hit the Mega Millions Lottery TONIGHT and it wouldnt make my happy , because I still wouldnt have my family together. It might give me pleasure to have no worries about bills or anything , but thats not the same as being happy.

Im really not trying to be difficult or seem like Im turning down advice , not at all. I just cant get my head around " be happy" when Im miserable and feeling hopeless
