Galaga, one of the biggest learnings and improvements I made in my own sitch was to embrace frank talk. Here in western society we tend to be right-fighters. We want to be right no matter the cost. As my favorite bald TV psychologist from Texas likes to ask people: "Would you rather be right or happy?" The two are not always congruent.
Joseph's post may have struck a nerve. Is it because what he said was wrong? Or because you didn't like what he said? So rather than push back against the advice just let it ruminate. Let it sink in. Joseph's post didn't have to be 100% accurate to be effective. You know what happened with your dad, but we do sometimes tend to exaggerate to make the story more meaningful. Regardless, suicide and suicide attempts profound impacts on those that love the individual. It has obviously had a big impact on you regardless of the details! The real question is how did you learn and grow from that?
Galaga, we are all here pulling for you. We want to see you become the best version of you that you can be, regardless of what happens with your marriage. You've got this! Now go out and make the decisions that will help you get there.
