[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My life, finances and career were basically ruined by a disastrous marriage. They will never recover.  I'm now middle aged and alone as a single parent. It is a life I dislike and never wanted. I am the pity of all my better-off (by orders of magnitude) friends and family who are all nice enough but clearly consider me a "there but for the grace of god" situation. My life is a constant humiliation and living it is painful. I work FT and get by but my kids lives are measurably worse than mine was growing up in every way. I envy everyone who had better marriages and consequently better adult lives. My early life was good and that is what I got in this world, my good fortune was frontloaded. I am now middle aged and it is over. I don't want to hurt my kids more but I recently found some peace by realizing that eventually my life will end and that if I want to, which I do, later on I can use some of my remaining $ to pay someone to make my death look like an accident. I have felt lighter since realizing this. [/quote]

You need to seek help. STAT. You are displaying signs of depression, which you may not realize.
Also, having a good childhood has likely been helpful for you in surviving your terrible marriage and divorce. You will come out better in the end. Have faith.[/quote]

Also, my depression is situation. I know what I wasn't and do not have and also know that it has not happened and will never happen. This is not something therapy can fix. It is similar to a terminal disease, or being infertile when you wanted children. My children are my only reason for living but alone I am not giving them the life they deserve and should have had.[/quote]
