He isn't going to solve his problem wasting time looking for pity here on FR.

Geesh, have you not one ounce of compassion in your body. He has admitted he screwed and is just looking for a little support. Seems so many people are quick to judge others with their self-righteous, self-centered egos they can't lend a bit of support. I believe some of us have hit rock bottom, emtionally or spirtually or whatever and just needed to pick our ourselves up again. And some don't have ANYONE to talk to, so lighten up J.J.

Don't judge unless you've walked in this FReepers shoes. I'm sure it is difficult enough without being ridiculed by you.

Genesis, you have my support. Now get off your rump and make things right with your wife, son, job, etc. It's still not to late. Keep your chin up, keep the faith and don't give up!!!!!!

I understand your frustration. I too feel like shaking him. How could a woman love a blob that plays computer games while she has to feed and clothe the family and make a home for her son. Five years? A degree? Get real.

He needs to pray for forgiveness and help in pulling himself up, changing his motivations, getting a job and being a husband and father. God will help him but God also expects that help will result in him getting a job, supporting his family, realizing that he is not a teenager but a man with a wonderful child that needs a father.

Hope he is not just seeking a quick effort to show his wife he is trying.

I suggest seeing the doctor because I feel there is underlying depression. He needs to get the medication, start locating a job, change his work habits and forget about what he wants and show some results.

Of course we will pray with him and we will be thrilled when he becomes the man God meant him to be. However, it will be because he makes himself into that man - not us, not his wife, not his computer games. It all depends on him and he can make it work one simple step at a time.
