I'm still a good dad. I think I needed this place in some ways to stay connected somehow. There was a whole world outside my door I wasn't connected with anymore. In some ways I was barely functioning. I didnt intend for this thread to be me about me. I hoped it would encourage people to turn the looking glass on themselves. I know I do. But if people wanna pile on and tell me that I need to change, it just sort of goes with the theme that's been in my head my whole life...that I'm not good enough as I am. I know it's not the truth...but it is my burden...letting people walk on me.
Coming out of this last year my circle of friends is much smaller. I'm very choosy about that. I choose people who think I am ok as I am.
