22

[Virtues]

I'm really struggling today with this life shit! My wife is pissed off at me for some ungodly reason my oldest daughter is laying into me with that "you don't love me" crap and I can't even find solace in my normal escapes. My trauma is at the forefront of my mind and it doesn't seem like this will end. Wanting the storm to quiet.

I have messaged you my friend :hug:

Sorry things are rough for you at the moment, im sure your daughter doesnt mean it when she says you dont love her, im sure she knows you do. I hope things feel a bit brighter for you soon

Not today. Just tell yourself that. Today you will NOT be one of the 22. You owe that to your brothers, to your family, to yourself.

Ah. One man's trash is another man's treasure, they say. I am not making fun of you, just reminiscing how it felt for me when I had the same problem. 18+ years ago. (insert Scotish accent) "You. My daughter. You think I do not love you? You think I do not care about you? Then, you go! NOW! You go pack your bags with the clothes YOU bought! Not the clothes your mommy or I bought for you! An' while you are at it, you take NOTHING we bought for you! NOTHING, I tell you!"
Right about now she would be sobbing, her mother wants me dead, and I would tell her "We buy for you not just what you need, but what you want. We want you to be a normal kid. We want you to be happy. We do all of this, but even more! We tell you if you EVER need someone to talk to, just come to us. Do not pull the stunts your friends pull, they do not know if they can rely on their parents. But you know you have us!" Then she'll come up crying and give me a hug (after her mom throws her hands in the air, in desperate search for a cast iron skillet....)

Pay attention to your stress cup Florian, seems to be overflowing. Is your daughter a teenager? I do believe those years are somewhat akin to puss symptoms. Very hard years for them.
Your wife?? Well I hope she talks with you and you don't have to walk on eggshells.
Can you get in the car and just go for a drive? Do something you wouldn't ordinarily do..go get an ice cream cone. And breathe. Deep breaths.
Gentle hugs for a guy trying!

I think everyone should have a family session and talk about different things that causing a creation of this storm. With a lot of stress it can become difficult. I know you making sure your daughter knows you love her. I wonder where that came from

PS- For whatever it's worth, all teenagers pretty much suck at some point or another. I know I definitely did, and my dad and I got into to some pretty good rows back in the day. Plus, sometimes women (yes, I am a woman admitting to this) can just be plain hormonal for no particular reason. I promise you, it's nothing personal and it DOES get better! Right now, do whatever you need to do to take care of YOU.

Hey, brother.

Everything is temporary.

No matter how hard this shit is, no matter how dark, hot, furious, cold, bleak, or motherf*cking painful it's gonna change up. Get through today. Right now. This moment. The next. It's gonna pass. Just gotta keep moving.

Teenagers are pains in the ass and I think your kid knows better. Your wife and you will work it out. The symptom surge will pass.

And you are a great guy.
