A question

Deleted User
Does being a good (step) dad,granddad, and great granddad(in their eyes) make up for being an abject failure in so many other ways such things are usually defined? Some people get over childhood & teenage bullying and achieve great things. I lacked the inner strength to do so
A situation not helped,no doubt, by far too may years of poor recognition of needs and things I struggle with. But others do well despite that. I can't genuinely say I feel depressed,beyond a dip in mood that's probably SAD. What I can say is that I feel useless and worthless a lot of the time.

  • I'd rather have memories of being loved abd cared for than money and success or success as the world sees it. Try and celebrate the fact that after all you've been through you can give and recieve love, not everyone can, many can't, they lack the trust.

    Never underestimate the power of love, it is the basis of everything else, by being a good and loving step dad and grandad you are giving your family a firm ground to build their lives on. Whatever they achieve be it big or small, will be a reflection of the love they've grown up with.
