Social And this too shall pass.

That is nice. I have paid out around 275k in that time, and that is a decent house in some areas of the country. Not many, but still.
I like the freedom more though. No longer having to deal with her at all anymore. Biting my tongue at the little jabs thrown my way. Conceding to things I know are a bad idea just to keep the peace. That cost me far more than money alone.

Congrats man. You can’t put a price on a little peace of mind. Although I hope you still have a good relationship with your kid/s

I know several friends still paying child support and the hell they have been through. Watching their exes family and friends turn on them and not being able to see their kids when they want to. A lot of ex wives talk down on their former husbands to the kids to win them over. Problem is, kids get older and will soon discover which parent was the ‘real’ issue.

I had a friend ask me a few months ago “where was my wife?” Dude is on his third marriage (maybe another divorce according to his brother) paying alimony and child support to two wives now. I’m like bro, you of all people need to sit this one out lol
 
Unless it doesn't and u slowly become more crippled with every year of suffering while dreaming of having the balls to pull the plug. :D Some day i'll be a man and get some perm sleep.

 
Perseverance is key. Endure through the suck and theres light at the end of the tunnel

Eyes on the prize.

Nah. This is all I know, and I intend to leave this place kicking and screaming.

Hate to break it to ya, but you becoming a man doesn't matter. Perm sleep is coming regardless. Don't be in a rush to meet it.
 
I thought this was a thread about really bad constipation......... Giant compacted poop that forms a giant ball that only a gay porn star could pass........

Lemme put a pipe wrench on all ur joints, and broken glass in side them all, and then i crank right to the point where u tap. But i don't let go for days, weeks, sometimes months at a time. for the rest of your life until u slowly deform as doctors say "all we can do is try to prevent further permenant damage" while everyone u cared about has given up on you and not a single friend comes to visit anymore. I held on for 10 years of this hell. but i'm ready to go.

Only my sister still see's me and when i shamefully thank her for cleaning up after me and feeding me and taking me to the doctors, and though she smiles. U can tell how strained and fake it is because i'm nothing but a burden and it's only her guilt that makes her keep doing it. All my savings from the decades of work and my 401k are gone cause it took me years to get disability (got it instantly once a judge finally just looked at me and my pictures and she apologized that it took so long). and onwards it goes. Everything i used to do and love to do to keep me sane is not an option anymore. And every year it gets worse and worse and worse.

I get it, it's easy to say things when the grass is green. And honestly it's not about the severity of the pain. It's about it's persistence and how it permanently reshapes and destroys my body. I'm just glad i can still use the internet and type or i'd be truly trapped alone in hell. But yea, the grass on my side is more like an endless field of needles covered in bugs while mesquito's laugh at your demise. I'd rather have been hit by a truck so that i have a chance at healing and recovering. I begged doctors to atleast cut off my limbs and replace them with something that i can't feel.

So hate to break it to you, being awake isn't all that it's cut out to be, and kicking and screaming is something i used to do. I pretty much can't anymore cause it hurts too much to move like that. Yes screaming hurts my back and neck too. I used to make music and some of it involved quite a bit of screaming.
