No they don't. FReepers are the most realistic folks that I've had the good pleasure of meeting.
And here's a hard dose of reality for you...
You're a whiny, selfish wimp.
I bet you've never even stopped to consider how traumatic it would be for your daughter if you checked out, have you? Emotional wounds like that never heal.
"And what, exactly, do I have to “give” her?"
She needs you, you fool... and that's what you have to give her.
Stop focusing on yourself for a change and just imagine how lonely your daughter's life would be without you.
The problems you think you're escaping will only be passed on for her to deal with in the mess you'll leave behind. Are you really that big of a coward?
“FReepers are the most realistic folks that I’ve had the good pleasure of meeting.”
You forgot me.
I’m the most surrealistic person you’ve ever met.

FWIW, I’m 49 and my dad’s 79.
I don’t know what I’ll do when he dies.
A girl never stops needing her daddy.
