  • Sept 4 – Downtown night

    I need a change. I need fresh air. I always like to wander around. I used to go out just by myself and walk with no purpose just for the sake of changing my mind. Walking would help me clear my mind of all the sadness and loneliness I’ve had during the day. My wife…

  • July 24 Trip

    As awkward as it could be now, we had planned with some friends a 4 day getaway to Toronto – Niagara Falls earlier at the beginning of the year. We took one car and off we went, all 8 of us. Now things were alright at the beginning of the year, at least in my…

  • July 19 – 2 months

    So it’s been two months that we’ve been living like roommates and I hate every single bit of it. My wife or roommate does her thing and lives her life while I am hanging around like a fool hoping that things will get better. Honestly, even if time eases tension, I can hardly see how…

  • June 29 – Six flags

    Since our big argument almost 2 months ago, my wife seems to do her best to organize activities for the kids. As we were not sure whether we would travel this year, we bought a season pass to the sixflag park we have in our city. The pass is fairly priced hence the reason we…

  • June 9 – Investor meet

    I’m trying to get my life back. For as long as I can remember, my kids have always been my priority. And they will remain my priority. Furthermore, as I am taking care of them most of the time, I have neglected my social life. I am not socially inclined to start with, so that…

  • June 7 – Work social worker

    I am lucky enough to have a social worker I can talk to at work. After previously setting an appointment I had the chance to talk to her via a Teams session. I was looking forward to this meeting as it was the first time I could tell my story to someone ‘face to face’.…

  • June 6 – Time to change

    I am still a mess. I can’t really continue like this. Hence I have been looking around at different resources to help me get back on track. I am lucky enough to have such a program at work that will cover a big portion of the expenses for a psychologist. Besides this, as I have…

  • June 5 – Staying together for the kids

    The kids today have been invited to their friends house. So we’ve been driving them around town and left them at their friends house. It’s one of the few moments we’re alone together. Since our last discussions I am still trying to understand what’s going on and I am still trying to make things right.…

  • June 2nd – Still looking for a psychologist

    So it’s been two weeks now that I’m in this state. I can’t sleep or when I do I wake up every 2 hours because there’s so much going on in my mind. I have never suffered of insomnia in my life and this really does have a huge impact on me. Mentally and physically.…

  • May 26 – Looking for a psychologist

    I have heard of mental health. But never have I thought that one day I’ll be in such a bad state that I’ll have a mental health issue. This whole situation is draining me to the point I can’t function properly anymore. I have told my work manager about the situation and she listened to…
