Oh Boo Hoo Hoo!
Get off your ass, dump the bitch, and move on with your life.
Decent story which needs a little editing.
Storyline had potential, but descended into rambling and failed to develop characters. The fact that the story was non-erotic is not an issue — properly categorized.
Its nice to say "suck it up buytercup", but feelings of obligation to children, vain hopes and slowly worsening depression are all too common. Nice to see someone showing men suffer too. Good job.
kitty2.7 - screw u 2. Depression is serious and sometimes all it takes is SOME kindness. Thank you for your story.
I really related to a lot of this. I am a 71 year old male and I have had clinical depression chronic ongoing since I was 7 years old. They did not know what to call it back then. 25 years ago I was also diagnosed with bipolar depression. So if you know people that's going through this oh, please get them help. I don't do it anymore but I tried to commit suicide 15 times. The first time I was 7 years old.
Excellent premise, I can identify. Tiger 27 sometimes its not that easy to as you put it "dump the bitch"......
Please help anyone you come into contact with who is hurting. A kind word can be a wonderful thing
Such visceral pain and pathos, and relatable on so many levels. I'm sorry for the readers who don't get it, or choose to be flippant or cruel. Having a relationship self-destruct is indeed the thin tether to so often being our only happiness in life, esp. for someone depressed who's self worth is already at zero. The narrator's desire to just disappear, abandon their life is heart-breaking, and again very relatable. Not easy for many to read, but I'm glad you wrote it.
4/5 I paid attention to the Authors note...
I'll go get help. Have 3 adult children that still love me.
