For many years I carrie...Hi Scott,<BR/>I feel your pain. For many years I carried guilt on my shoulders. I spent many years trying to fight it, but at times it got REALLY HARD. And like you, I did think about ending it all many times. Why the guilt you may ask? Well, you know most of my story. Leaving my wife and kids. Not being able to tell anyone of my deepest, darkest secrets. There are a few more, but I could fill a blog with them. Needless to say, I am a much happier women today for confronting those deep seated secrets. Dealing with the guilt has been the toughest thing for me to do, but through therapy it has eased. Mind you, it never seems to go away, I always think back on those nightmare evenings when my wife would have my daughter call me and beg me to come back home. SHIT, I want to cry now, ugg. Maybe one day it will ease up more, but until then I will carry on. As you know my kids love me as I do them and it's this love that has kept me alive through it all. Just know you have someone that love's you and you'll always have a shoulder to lean on if you ever need.<BR/>Hugs<BR/>Michelle LeeMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472306410152298572noreply@blogger.com
