Finally built a family in my 40s. After 4+ years tho, I am battling depression that I have never felt before. I can't seem to figure out how to make my wife happy, and we now argue ( screaming at each other) on a regular basis.

I wish my wife didn't resent me.

I wish I could find inspiration in my 3 year old son who is a F****** BLESSING!!!!

I wish people didn't judge me when they saw I was in prison.

How do I stop feeling these things!!!!

I wish I had the strength to kill myself.

hi counselling could help with your relationship.all of us make mistakes in life if you've turned a corner and don't plan on returning to prison any time soon then I wouldn't worry what other people think of you.

People will always judge you for prison. It’s what you did with that experience.. I’d say it was hell and I got a lot out of it I became the better person I am so I’m thankful. What’s in their head belongs to them but if you show who you are and in a positive light .. it’s what you do with it crap time in the end I realize that myself

If you’re fighting yes Councellor may help.yiu could ask her what’s not working and what is working sit down & say let’s talk it out & goals work together & check in on them. Sometimes little kids are hard and frustrating though you love them she could be going crazy needing some time for herself see what her deal is and ask if you can keep it about the problems not the anger to try to problem solve. And say to her I hear you you’re feeling frustrated. So forth. Good luck
