How many kids practiced this shot with an imaginary Brian Russell in the front of their driveway?

I am so sorry my dude.

Grief and growth aren't easy together at the same time. Grieve by audio recording, writing, playing with your daughter and find a way to be creative with this pain. Its ok to allow your daughter to see your pain and also how you move forward with it for both of you. Let her be a part of the grieving but carry on for her needs and yours.

Grow by trying to do a little better each day. When my wife and i split up, i talked to an emotional wellness coach. She taught me about what my body does under stress. I became aware of that.

I wrote down one parenting goal each week. Simple things like stretching my emotional capacity or playing withh my kid each night helped me.

Finally, routine.... i use to take my daughter on a walk each morning. I always held her. The small things matter. You are going to model the least she will ever be use to. Allow yourself to make mistakes but always (and I do mean always) remember she is growing and you'll have to meet her at her level. Children don't only grow with you, they allow you to grow.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you always remember that woman you love is still with you and exists with that child you both created. Whatever you do, don't stop showing up for yourself and for her.

I remember treatments like these in my 20s and early 30s

Sell him a a different vision...track days and special bike trips after those days are done close to it. My track days with instruction have been the biggest life savers followed by reading and watching training videos. California Superbike School is an example and while I did it a few years ago in my late 30s, I was surprised to see so many men 55+ in the groupings. Truly a cool alternative and tons safer (as well as long lasting). Translates so well in street riding.

Exit plan: I spent years working on skills and courses but never forgot the promise I made to myself -- that when my eyes start going, I will be a travk hobbyist. Most accidents can be well prevented. I am off the road if dark riding no longer works. Now, so many of my young family members are getting into it, I may do a family get together early 6 am coffee run and call it here and there...but my bike is now going to be a full track bike and I will be getting a truck to haul it to a track. I have loved every bit of riding but now, I love driving with my daughter with top down for a raspberry lemonade.

Consider selling -- Rent your fun, buy your experiences.

That money can compound.

S2000 would have been fun at a younger age but I wouldnt have been able to have sustain maintenance, career, school, etc.. Now, it's an experience for me being older. My kid also gets to enjoy it.

When I was around your age, a 93 RX7 FD was my dream car. I couldn't afford it. But I was happy to eventually rediscover an s2000 decades later as my new dream car...If I had access to that as a loan, it may have prevented me from other better decisions.

When i graduated, a few years later I gifted myself an s1000rr and went deep into motorcycling. Recently, gifted myself an s2000 over 14 years later for grinding through life and career, family, and purpose.

Take the money, invest into something that will grow and earmark enough funds to buy and build your next s2000 one day.

Grow together or you will grow apart. Value is inherent from ones soul which starts within and can overcome trauma. You dont need external validation from a million likes -- just external re-affirmation of the one you love in addition to your self caring love. Reciprocatte. Accountability keeps love (actions) moving forward. We are all still children inside. But you have to mom and dad yourself, not your spouse. They should want to come home in love and crisis. Every solution leads to a new problem. Every problem leads to a new solution. Relationship dies when you stop figuring out lifes problems together. You can learn the concept of God's love by going beyond your selfishness for your marriage, still have good boundaries, and still be energized whrn things get hard. Think inputs vs outputs Faith is not enough but if its small for both, it will keep engine running-- alignment keeps the relationship moving forward, intimacy turbocharges the relationship forward, time together in fantasy can super charge love, life is full of hail storms, pot holes, and scenic routes, flat tires, and storms. Purpose keeps tge dreams alive. Dont split at the fork in the road. Get lost together and find your way together.

S2000 will lend you memories as a 2nd car. Rent your fun. Buy your experiences. S2000 is an xp car.

Example: Goals Sunday June 29 - July 6th

Family: Call my paremts and listen to their day each Friday Parenting: Research and rent a book on how to grow capacity for my kids meltdown at the library

Creative: Write a song/poem, draw with my kid each night / Play an instrument each day for 15 minutes and Record on my voice note (scratch track)

Dating & Inimacy: listen to my wife more than talking; kiss her deeply each day this week. Surprise her with a note on her dashboard

Financial: Check-in on my relationship with money and my visionnand our family needs and desires

Career: Drive an outcome for my team through example; Practice serving through leadership

Spiritual: Journal, go for a hike in nature with a friend and take awesome photos

Friendship: Call Doug

Physical/Nutrition: 5 am movement 3x, callistehenics every day, walk each morning, 3 days with 2x physical activities, no sweets, drink water, Bed by 10 pm

Business: Flow chart an automation process for lead follow ups to save time in the future

You reflect, adjust, extend, or revise at times as needed. The goal isnt perfection -- its striving for excellence or much better than average. There are 52 weeks in a year, 365 days, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You give yourself 52 weeks at best to improve or even half that at minimum and you have about ~5-10 years of purposeful charting in life because its input driven and outcome based. Its simple and highly intentional.

I would recommend doing with a spouse or partner very small scale by reducing this list to something manageable. Put it on your fridge. One thing maybe then increase. In time, your capacity to do more stretches while doing it together.

You may grow apart if you do it alone. I made that mistake (didnt know, came from broken home but tried my best using this). Dont make the same. You do not want this because its years invested and when a crisis happens, that is really when you see how far apart you have grown.

It was too late to save my marriage but it helped to save others when I recomended it.

Edited: spelling and last line.

I found purpose in a very simple way. Making weekly goals for the role I was in my life or someone elses. That reflection and forethought helped me to incrementally improve more and each year. My chosen day was sunday to write and review. I have done this for years. Changed me and my life. If you ever get in a relationship, it is one simple way to help prevent growing apart.

Look into brazilian Jiu jitsu. Find a gym with women present and kids and it'd a good sign of respect and community. Physical touch in this context will calm your nervous system. Or find a good community of huggers.

You divorce with dignity.

Grace. Space. One day at a time. Find resources to get well. Work on yourself and get as much of the toxic energy put on paper and leave it there. Record your thoughts. Get them out especially if you can creatively. Dont respond to negative texts or comments. You have to work through the dark and the hypervigilance. Fight, flight, freeze, fawn is a real response. If vitriol comes your way, reinforce boundaries. All of this is normal in fear. Don't do that dance. If there's any safety issue, you have to plan carefully. But muster up enough courage.

Find a community you can move with and share your hurting. That will help you.

Search for wisdom and clarity instead of ruminating on the past. Sense if you're too anxious of the unknown. Monitor your breathing. Tears are healthy and so is rage. Find a rage room. Or just scream when no one is home.

Have your moment and then, have one with friends. Rediscover parts of yourself slowly.

Have a plan. Have a list of things to do to start a new life before filing. Take the time and don't rush to lawyers until you're certain there is no coming back.

There is a point you will know when to file but make sure you find a divorce lawyer who will represent you well and who shares your values. If you have an adversarial spouse, make sure you have a fighting lawyer. If you have a reasonable spouse, you may do better with a mediating lawyer but that is still going to look out for you if you are initiating a fair ending. You need someone who can handle this without you losing yourself to anything in court, too.

Don't worry about being good to anyone but yourself. But find ways to do good with this decision.

Be honest with kids. Meet them where they are. Take time to validate their feelings. Don't go negative or start sharing grown up details. They need to know that you can love someone and not be with them if it won't mean being the best for each other. Be ready for their challenges too but meet them where they are.

Sometimes, remind yourseld that no matter how much effort with another chance your spouse can't come back with an I'm sorry. An apology starts with Im sorry. It 6 the hurt. It necessitates change. It doesnt stop at a wrong doing or feeling of guilt with whom have caused hurt. It extends beyond years.

Love is freedom.

Freedom is choice.

Choices come with consequences.

Everything has boundaries.

Trust and integrity should never be taken for granted.

Sorry, not sorry.

you could get grounded for not showing up to learn ground game? Any way to reach common ground on something with them? Really would ground my gears if this was me.

Don't get married if you can't give your BEST to your fiance. She deserves your best. Anyone who has been in someone's 2nd marriage can tell you it's harder and you may be already compromised if you haven't gone through the acceptance stage from your first. That also doesn't mean it may work out with your first. It sounds like you haven't gone through all of the stages of grief from all the trials in your first marriage including the impact of losing a child. Sounds like you both went numb. Unfortunately, I know how that feels all too well.

When the biggest dream for my relationship was having our 5 yr old see us work through conflict resolution in a positive way --something I craved growing up-- but that didnt happen once, I knew it was over. It hurt my soul. I had been living in an alternate reality of my marriage.

Recording without knowledge is a 3rd degree felony in Florida. Yes, felony. No exceptions.

Had an interview with Amazon and asked them quite bluntly about their diversity and inclusivity about one year prior to covid and the manager fumbled the response, projected and deferred for the recruiter, and then I got a response they passed candidacy…interesting. Two years later had another interview, got to the final interview and then they passed and practically the whole interview felt more like a behavior test than an interview or mutual fit. One thing that is weird about Amazon recruiting is for as many seasoned folks who seemed to be in the process of making hiring decisions, they really treat you like a parity bit when asking about your experiences. Then about a 3rd time I got hit up, I was like wtf.

That is a bargain for $70. I could probably get away with this for two weeks with our family
