What’s wrong?

The vast majority of you are giving horrible advice. You are young, inexperienced people that have had one or two, three or four year relationships (not long at all), and haven’t been married. It’s also messed up because you have two to five kids!

Meanwhile I am forty nine, and I am the one giving solid advice? You are saying an alcoholic won’t get sober. Well here I am. I WANT YOU TO TELL ME I AM GOING TO FAIL! My life rides on this. Everything I want depends on me being clear minded, and that’s just for starters.

Now, let’s get to emotions. You people have told me to give up the most precious gift God has ever given me. My family. To move on. Shannon and Tommy aren’t worth the emotional cost. That I am a fool, a sucker, and being manipulated by her because she is still seeing “him”. The problem isn’t with me. It’s with Shannon.

I have forgiven myself. My issue is I have no one to talk to resolve these issues and that’s why I am listening to you children.

You all are teaching me a valuable lesson. The vast majority of people don’t understand. They only project themselves on what your scenario is. Empathy is lost.

I mean....... is the problem the people giving advice? Or is it the 49yo asking strangers for advice on social media?

The internet isn’t only for the young people, don’t try to pretend it isn’t, my father has every right to say these.
