I’m trapped

I didn’t think life could get worse than when my ex & me were separating almost 30 years ago and the ensuing custody battle….but now it’s way way worse than that. Then on the other hand it’s almost as bad as my workplace bullying experience which I’m on a pension for-disabled from work (due to me being mob bullied and injured by employer/employees); now my hands are fuller and heart extremely grieved My step daughter and wife (who never listen’s to me), are really causing me more grief than i can deal with. I’m estranged from my kids (no thanks to a archaic men hating system and my ex poisoning them from me); no friends (who would want to be around someone that’s completely demoralized as me?); My wife, too manic and sociopathic telling me what to do; my stepdaughter, so far gone, and demanding we help her, as she’s alcholic and has no money. My wife enables her. Stepdaughter pushed my wifes visa over the limit. This has all pushed me again to the end of my rope and beyond again….What am I to do???

Maybe I need to declutter, put stuff needed into storage and declutter some more and plan where to go. This is all too much for me to stay-and it may be too much for me to go. I might best be euthanized. That may be the most viable solution to end a very grievous and unhappy life. Whether I can get the meds prescribed and go someplace quiet to do it myself, or be assisted. Definitely cannot go on living this way. Been walked all over upon and I’m just over-done-period.

I am so sorry for all you are going through. Have you thought about better way to cope through psychiatrist or counsellor. It would get you through your emotions and looking at possible solutions to your problems. They can be very understanding and see clearer options for you. Just think of all possible outcomes you would like and discuss how you can make things happen but more for you, so that you can survive

Was in hospital for pulmonary embolism last year. Had embolectomy..sure wouldn’t want to experience that again. On blood thinners since then. Hospital asked if i wanted MAiD (medical assistance in dying). At the time wife was living with daughter several days a week and I was alone in our apartment. Now she’s back living full time w/me and I’m in hell. There’s no support here for a fella in my situation.

Sometimes person lives longer? With proper diet and care, could not this be possible?

Would it be possible to put daughter in therapy/counselling?

Step daughter to me. I’m nothing to her even though supported her for years now. Her brother committed suicide w/fentanyl poisoning. I figure she’s trying to drive me to that.

she’s alcoholic, in denial, manic-has two children and they’re with their dad. Tried to help her but the system here treats people like rabid dogs. Will put you down in most cases.

her toilet overflowed in a drunken stuper. Her mom put her up in a hotel room as her basement suite’s condemned. Now mom’s credit over limit and daughter kicked out of hotel. They all blame me on brother/step sons suicide (RIP) and just want me around for my pension. Me-I’ve had enough-but nowhere to go.

Hi puppy, I feel for you, I'm sorry, yada yada, the usual sympathetic stuff.

To get to the point; I was in a similar hopeless situation, with hopeless people, with hopeless medical issues. (that obviously continue otherwise "hope" would have been applicable lol). I scraped my possessions together, made sure my income was secure and simply picked up and left. Sold what I could on facebook market place. Rented somewhere affordable and filled that with Ikea (and renovated the shithole I rented a bit).

If that had failed, I would've moved on to the next. I would ask you to look at your life as if it were a story. A book if you will. Currently you're in chapter "Everyone is using me". I urge you to start chapter "How I escaped my prison" and "Maybe I should change my name too."

Sounds radical perhaps, but since you mentioned suicide (Mr. Trudeau is proud of you), what have you got to lose that you haven't already lost? Get out of your head and get out of that place man. Well observed = people might not help or respect you now. That is because I, and most, look at this and think "He chooses this" (That's the cold-hearted truth). If you managed to climb out of this pit you're in and surround yourself with people with a heart; you might be amazed as to how helpful people are to people that help themselves. I don't know how old you are, brother, and don't feel obligated to survive (I would've killed myself too if it was just a bit easier), but if you do survive, make life worth living? If not for yourself because you loathe yourself for allowing you to glide into the shit you are in, for us? As a leading example? I'm asking you to do a Houdini. If it fails, atleast you tried. I don't like this chapter you're stuck in, and neither do you, so do a magic trick and vanish.

If you don't plan to, explain to me why you choose to stay in this hellish situation. In detail. Make me understand. By making me understand, you will probably feel better for it too. Explain to me and yourself why vanishing isn't an option. (Or do it.) In both cases, you will find the answers you are looking for.

Not what you're looking for?
