Isolation becomes a big part of Christmas for me as a married couple. So many years of remembering all the "normal" gifts I would give my W. only to have them shot down over the years,by being told " Don't buy me those, I don't want those, I'd rather pick that out myself".
I watched the hypocrisy as my almost adult boys and girls bought their mother many of the things I have been asked not to. Then to hear her say," lets go to the store tomorrow ,when they're marked down, and buy a year supply, I did that for myself last year".
The examples go on, and on.....
I think of the giving that can happen in the future with someone who communicates openly and honestly. Not someone who is constantly concerned with themselves.

I read somewhere that men are about 4-5 times likely to take their own lives than women. Another scary statistic is that men are 10 more likely to take their own lives than woman after a divorce. I do not want to be a likely statistic because I don't have alot of friends at this stage because I stopped seeing many of them after I got married.

Most of my friends faded out of my life once they started having kids. Like good fathers, they devoted their time to their families and children as one would expect. Makes my social network pretty thin though... I'm long past the suicidal thoughts I used to have over my SM but I still understand it all too well. |
