Please don't be offended. I really want to help you man.
I'm not offended at all. I came onto this forum with a prideful attitude. I've accomplished a lot in my life and overcame numerous obstacles. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever encountered. My pride has been busted...I've hit rock bottom. Help is what I am reaching out for, because I feel like a panicked, scared little boy lost in the Mall of America and not knowing where to begin looking for my parents.
I have purchased both books that you suggested. I just started reading Hold onto you N.U.T.S.. I am listening to the Superior Man book in my car beginning today. I will also look of David DeAngelo later.
This seems to be what I've been looking for...so thank you.
I was a little concerned with my goals being too much or too focused on her. I'm not sure how to do things for myself. I've always been so focused on her and the kids. I'm not blaming them or making excuses...it's my fault and it obviously didn't work.
I'm humbled now and eager to learn as much as I can. Without being so dang sensitive *cough,MrBond,cough* ;-). Having my ass handed to me earlier in the thread is exactly what I needed.
