No, don't be. These same thoughts keep swirling over and over in my head too. Would I have accepted her? That would make me a horrible person. But then again, the last time I was really loved was...my boyfriend.

Maybe I'll give him a call.

But that may only cause him more pain.

In my opinion, you have nothing to lose anymore. Get into therapy for shooting someone, but i dont think you will be seeing her anymore and plus you could focus on school again, id give it a trial run and if doesn’t work out you can always find someone and something else to do. And go try and help your dad, get him to some meetings if he’s willing. (It saved my life)

I will, and thank you for sharing your experience with me. It gives me hope knowing that maybe we can recover from this. He'll be able to forgive my mom, but I don't know if he'll ever be able to forgive himself.

It all comes with time, maybe point some “arrows” to start a new business? Keep his mind off some things for a bit and coax him in with therapy, might work and it might not but it never hurts to at least try. Good luck on your journey and who knows perhaps it leads to a part 2?

I really want to believe that will happen. And thank you, I'll keep you updated.
