First, Brian, I accept your apology. No hard feelings.
Since I left my wife in late August I've been through some pretty tough
times. And, yes, I am embarrassed at the situation i've created and the
aftermath which is the lack of time with my son. I hope one day when he's
a man that he'll forgive me. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't
regret what I've created.
Yes, I was in a loveless marriage. However, I created most of the issues.
I have a drinking problem. Period. That pretty much sums it up right there
(and I really don't want to discuss it any further on rgp)
I'm trying to remedy the situation. I, really, really am. I don't want
anyones sympathy, though. All i can do is try and live my life as normally
as possible now and try to keep my head up.
Any good thoughts sent my way would be much appreciated.

You don't know me, I don't post often, but...
Your accountability is commendable. Best of luck to you in righting
your wrongs as much as possible.

Hang in there Cincy. I don't think it's possible to go through a divorce
without some regrets. I know I had my share. The main thing is to focus
on the life ahead of you. Do what you know you should do to make that the
best. Good luck.

Happy Holidays Steve, I wish you the best.
Take a lot of pictures when you are with your son. He will appreciate them later
on in life. We took video of our kids visiting santa and added one each year. It
is really cool to watch now that they have grown.

I have a lot of respect for people who can admit responsibility for issues they
are involved in. It shows a lot of character. If you can continue to take those
steps, your son won't have to forgive you. We all make mistakes. The actions we
take to fix them are what is important.
My father was a horrible drunk. He missed most of my early days while he was at
the bar. When I was 8 he went in for treatment and hasn't had a drink since. I
have never once resented him for the lost time. In fact, there isn't a day that
goes by that I don't think about the sacrifice he made for me and my mom to make
things right. You have that chance. I hope you take advantage of it. You will
both be eternally grateful if you do. I wish you nothing but the best in that
pursuit.

Gosh. There isn't a lot that makes me teary-eyed these days, but this is a very
poignant post. I hope everything works out for you and your son as well as it
possibly can. It's a tough situation, but your son is still very young so there
is plenty of time for things to fall into place.
By the time he's old enough to be aware of all that is going on around him, you
and your ex wife will have had time to heal a bit -- you, with your drinking
problem and whatever else is going on, and her with what I can only imagine are
extreme feelings of bitterness and betrayal. The thing is, the situation
would have only been worse had you stayed together (as you so obviously know),
so good on you for not forcing your son to live through that.
I absolutely agree that you need to create some semblance of normalcy for
yourself right now. Your son will only get to see you once a week. That time
needs to be as quality as possible, and it won't be if you are an emotional
wreck. Continue to be the best father that you can be.
Good thoughts,
Elizabeth
