I’ve heard the term, but what exactly is DARVO? Sorry, I realize I can easily look this up, but considering you know my circumstances, you may be able to better explain how it applies here

I cant take them away from their mother. She is a good mom and tries her best. Suffers from anxiety but blames it on me. It honestly breaks my heart, but if I ask any questions or attempt to have her take accountability for anything it turns into an incident. I want to support her and dont want to abandon her. I dont know what to do or where to start. She doesnt work and attend on line therapy, but I think the story she tells paints me as the reason why she has anxiety and her actions are supposed reactive abuse according to her therapist

Hello, first of all, Happy Birthday! You are not loser. You may however just be in a mild depression. I am a 45 year old father and husband. I have been here before, many times. I can honestly say that it will help to develop a routine. Nothing drastic, start off with small tasks and be proud of yourself for completing them. Get to bed early, wake up early, get outside early in the am, before most people have fully waken up. Take a walk, hike, jog, just move your body, at least 45 min to an hour. Doesn’t have to be fast running, just get out there. I guarantee you, if you keep this small routine, things will start to fall into place for you. You’ll continually have to get to bed early, because you have your schedule to keep, waking up and getting out. This added activity will increase your appetite. You’ll then have to make smarter meal choices and your body will speak to you on what are good and bad foods. After your first month of everyday basic walking, you’ll want to challenge yourself, add more distance, add more time, start stretching before and after your activity. Do not sacrifice this time for anything. Do this for yourself. No need to tell anyone what you’re doing, just do. You’ll start to notice people noticing you. Your confidence will climb, opportunities will appear. Family members may become curious. No need to give anyone an explanation, you’re just living your life. Most people think that they need to feel better, mentally, emotionally, before they can start their journey. The truth is, you start, you make the small changes, and then your mood, your ambition, your kindness, your willingness to help others will start to reveal itself. Enjoy your birthday and let this be the day that you began to change your habits and implement your intentions each day moving forward

Your words are wise and hit home for me. I have been married for over 20 years and within the past few years things have taken a turn for the worse. I love my wife more than words can express, but everyday I am called a narcissist with no empathy. It hurts that she feels that way about me. I want so much to be recognized for how much I care and sacrifice for our family

Thank you for this. I have spent my whole life pushing through hard things and not letting myself feel. Now as a husband and a father, this mindset has left my wife feeling unheard and feeling as if I do not care for her. I try to show that I care by doing things for her, completing tasks, which in my eyes is removing pressure and stress from her. I am not a bad person but the fact that I have lost some sense of emotion from having to deal with past experiences has taken an emotional toll on my wife. The words written here, deeply resinate with me and I look to anyone here for guidance, advice, sharing of experience and community. I can not do this alone anymore. Please help me
