I moved. I got depressed. I've been there for a long time. I work my way thru it every day. But today I did something for my son even though I may have not wanted to because I knew it would deoress me to be back in the town I made bed away from. From all that I knew. I did that for him. And he has no idea how hard that was. He just thinks dad was there to see him graduate from cub scouts. I did good. I made it about him. He deserved that. I am a good father. And I am trying at being a good husband. I'm proud of me Tonight.

And you should be proud of yourself tp. Pushing ourselves in doing something

we are uncomfortable in or fear is a way to move forward. Always endorse

yourself when taking that step. One step will lead to another.

You did good. I'm happy for you too. :) x

Kudos, I understand getting out of our comfort zone for family and relatives is huge for us. It hurts to have to feel like we hurt someone by not showing up for something because we just cannot get our body to be persuaded. I'm sure he absolutely appreciated it...there's nothing better for a son than basking in the warmness of pride from an adoring father. I know it was hard for you, but definitely make a personal note to yourself...you went further than you usually did...and you were okay! This is great. I hope you're relaxing now and enjoying both you and your son's achievements. Many kudos :)

Imagines with my happy childhood play in front of my eyes. When time passed and I grew up I was more and more unhappy, with physical manifestation of depression and anxiety. Today I'm lost in this life, feeling that I missed somewhere in the road of life my purpose in this life.
