All I'm saying is, where there's faith, there's hope...I don't know what your future holds, my friend, but you never walk alone...my prayers will be with you...
Have faith in yourself, you are not a failure. You will endure this, as have many before you, and make your goal one that will build your love for your children, and they for you. The children will save you.......
Work out, work hard and let every day be a holiday in your F*&%in' World. If you do that, I know you'll have a
New Horizon.

BTW, the "puppies" are part of the overall problem...three Dacshunds and a German Shepherd.
When the cold months roll around, they get "lazy", and don't like to do their business outside, but on my floors, rugs, etc.
My once beautiful house smells of dacshund piss. Try living like that for a few years. It adds to the overall problem. I'm not a slob, and I don't think "normal" people like to live like this. I won't. Not anymore.
I lost my daughter, my house, went bankrupt and was sure my life was over.
It isn't so. It was hard, took a long time. I have a wife I love, a young son and eventually got custody of my daughter. She is married now to a nice kid and I have a grandson.
When you look at the start of a long, uphill journey, you wonder how you can ever do it. When you look back on where you have been that journey never seems like it was so long.
Chin up, you will get there. There will be long, sad days, but believe me, you will get there. You will be better for it. And don't forget to ask God when you are weak.
FReegards.
First, your not alone. God is by your side, lean on him real hard. Second, go for long walks where there are people. Third, make appointment with clergy person right now for tomorrow. Fourth, make appointment with psychiatrist. Fifth if you have the funds hire a private investigator to discover your wifes lover (it'll ease your conscience).
Now, have some sense of pride and start acting like a man, you wimp. It's becoming evident why your wife left you.
Footprints In The Sand One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Accross the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other belonged to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me. The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it is then that I carried you."
