I get a sense of disrespect from your posts and replies, you're not encouraging but trying to discourage it seems. Why would you do that to someone you don't know, for what purpose? Insecurity issues or something to make yourself feel better? Genuine question cuz I don't get it. For example; the context in which you brought up me beating my wife.. why put it that way and bring it up at all?BPD could make sense
Regardless of that, got some time to give a more detailed response to what's been said above.
Boxing for me is no longer a realistic career option because of my age and medical issues. I'll still train as a hobbyist and maybe compete for fun when it's all said and done - but my days as a prospect are looking numbered. Career wise I'll probably start coaching and helping out where I can in the gym, staying in and around boxing is key for me to stay on the straight and narrow with ease so I definitely want to be involved somehow. When I'm fully healed I'm going to give boxing one last real run to be a professional, see if I still have it or not and if I do, waste zero time fight as much as possible and see what happens. If I suffer any kind of injury or setback or just don't have the timing in the gym right, then I'll put my fighter dreams on the shelf for good and focus on training.Hey dude, I used to break into cars and do drugs in my Dickies and Cortez. Removing myself from the people I used to hang around with was step 1, step 2 was moving away from the city I grew up in and everyone knew me in. If you can't leave Vegas, that's fine but watch who you hang with. Career criminal is a choice you make until your eventually in too deep to do anything else, climbing ranks in that lifestyle is something someone does because they want to, they want to be there and climb those ranks, just like you have to want to be in that ring. Next ask yourself what you want to be? If the answer is gangster then continue to do drugs and run with druggies criminals. You want to be a boxer run with boxers. You want to get educated and make a good living and life for yourself and future wife and children, get a education, learn a trade, drive trucks, or join the military. Military may be out of the option depending on your crimes. I think it would be a good place for you though. Free place to live, free food, free healthcare, they pay you, and you learn a job skill. If you have nowhere to live the simple fact they house you is good enough, the others are just bonus. You'd also get the discipline, authority, and help it seems you need. As well as new friends that are doing something with their lives.
I hope your working on something for yourself other than boxing. The chances of boxing playing out well as a career path are very low.
I am sorry for the loss of your mother and I can understand how something like this can drive a person into severe depression, suicide, drugs, etc. I have had my own severe struggles with losing a loved one.
Good luck
For me, what has happened really isn't a surprise. My mom was my whole world, I was co dependent on her as she was on me, and losing her and the method of losing her caused me to break.
I don't know if I'll ever recover from this. My chaotic way of handling life is a result of suppressed emotional rage or trying to cope with something I cannot cope with.
I was very stable and very happy before my mom's death, I knew what I wanted and was dedicated to getting it and just overall took the ups with the ups and the downs with the downs but was mainly satisfied with my life.
Since my mom got killed, I've been mentally dark. I lost my faith, and embraced the dark energy that came along the with that kind of situation and spiraled my life into hell. I am looking forward to being happy again whenever that day comes - and looking back at all this shit like one big nightmare. That will only happen if I start making positive changes and having faith again.
I need to bounce back for my mom's sake if nothing else, she must be turning in her grave at what I've allowed to have happen, happen.
I'm gonna be alright, I know that much. I'm blessed to have my freedom right now, thank God for that.
Thanks to all that support!
