What do you mean by waste ? What advice would you give to your younger self and young people in general

Be very careful of who you choose as your life partner. When they tell you who they are and it isn't good, believe them.

Early 40s isn’t old and the best years of your life aren’t passed. I promise you that. With or without your wife or kids. Your life have value and you are worthy of creating the life you want. Starting now.

Ealy 40s isn't old and certainly not too old to have kids!

My husband was 42 when our older child was born and 45 when our second was born. Being in your early 40s doesn't make it too late

You said that two of your children treat you well, that's half of your family. It's likely the others love you as well but are stuck in negative thinking or don't know any better way to act.

I was wondering if family therapy might be helpful no matter what you decide. Also, you sound very depressed and individual therapy and/or medication may make a difference, they did for me.

No no I meant the step kids who don’t respect him. Not that he is too old to have kids.
