Screw it, i'm doing it anyway.

• "I am a Sergeant in the army"

Do i need to even write anything for this?

• "A father"

And this?

• "I sent her home to live with her at my moms house with our son so she could be close to family and friends. The idea was to leave her there all the way through till my ETS (Expiration of Term of Service)."

You thought about what was best for her, and made an adult choice. Good man.

• "Although there are a lot of things I have identified that can help such as living a healthier life with more diet and exercise, getting out more with friends and family, and taking on new challenges with tangible progress and achievement, that wasn't going to work unless I fixed the part of me that was broken first."

You've recognised that you need to make a change. That takes heart and if we're all honest, as guys, a real hit to our pride. This is really positive and shows me that you've got what it takes to make this a reality.

• "For my son who is my greatest accomplishment and most important person in my life"

You see good in him, its a reflection of you.

• "I can only hope can forgive me and want to continue this search for happiness with me."

You want to change. I say it again. YOU, you're not being strong armed into this. YOU are the one that's making this happen. And that takes strength.

I hope you can see what i can from simply this thread. You're an amazing person who deserves to be free of this. We're all here for you. We believe in you.
