Where to begin..loss of my father to Suicide at 12. Growing up in a Community where I was disadvantaged and looked down upon. My single mom stuggled to provide for myself and my younger sister. People would call my mom a Squaw.. and ridicule us

I battled with intrusive thoughts all through my teens in my small Northern Village in Eastern Canada. Used alchohol to self medicate thru my early 20s. Lost my first child at 6months old, I delivered him on my own on a Wintery Easter weekend in our car on rural stretch of road. I ended up losing my sister law in an impaired driving accident. My mom recently passed away of Breast Cancer while my younger sister battled it.. I finally thought I was conquering lifes struggles then The Federal Canadian Government terminates my job during Covid because of paperwork incomplete do to my Stress. But now the show stopper my partner and mother of my 2 small Children has been just diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer. Im struggling to survive day by day...Folks please reach out to me, I love to talk and hopefully we can get eachother thru this thing called life!πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌβ€β€

I'm so sorry for what you've been through. And what you're going through right now. I wish I had something to offer that could help. But I don't. All I can say is that you are stronger than you think. And that all any of us really has is the time we are given. I hope that you, your wife and your children can find some happiness in that time.

I cannot tell you how sad I was to read what a tragic life you've had, I don't have the words to convey to you how upset it made me feel to read what you've had to cope with. All I can say is keep being strong for the sake of your wife and two small children and take a day at a time. I've had a very tough life too and that's the only way I survived. We live through these awful times because we have to, there is no other way. I hope you get lots of help and support from those around you. May the lord be with you and watch over you all.

I for one, would love to see you actually do a life book.I think it would help the world, sometimes heartless sometimes needing to see...you are still making it thru.Lessons from tragedy and how you continue to put one foot infront of another.Best wishes for happy moments. and do that book.

Wow... What a journey. You are a brave, strong soul for persevering though it all. So kudos to you! πŸ† You sound like like such a loving, caring, husband and father. I am so sorry for horrible job problems. Keep searching online for legal programs to help. There's gotta be someone out there(I pray). I hope you have a therapist to help with coping skills, like meditation, journaling, medication management and such. For your wife my favorite support group is BezzyBC. It's an app for all of us in every part of the breast cancer journey. It's the best, most caring, understanding, intelligent group of woman and has been a life saver for me!

I saw your Clonazepam post, also. Very good to have a benzo to help with anxiety. If that one is not right for you, there are a few more. But a good tool for your toolbox.

Wishing you and your family the best❀️

Keep us posted...

Totally do a blog, if you're not up for the book yet. But anyway you can get it all out is worth it I my humble opinion. 😊
