You're leaving at 0001 May 1st, so you should return 0001 May 1st.

I think the whole idea is fairly useless, but good luck.

the idea of a child saying "Daddy, don't leave me" conjurs up a powerful argument emotional appeal.

Were they constantly telling you she was cheating on you, even before you knew?

You can be addicted to the endorphin rush, though, and his admission that "sometimes (he) pushes it to do more" than every two weeks is a clue that that could be the case. Can't say any more than that, though.

One from the other side.

My father's pain medication was making his life bearable until he was drug tested (positive for marijuana) and denied access to said medication. After this his life deteriorated into an excruciating ordeal. He lived like this for around six months, his mental state complicated by a broken heart.

He wanted to die. After he came to spend a week with me and barely got off the sofa, we said goodbye knowing we'd never see each other again.

He called me three times to tell me he was going to die. The first two times I told him (honestly) to go if he wanted to go. He said he could hear something in my voice that prevented him from going through with it.

The third time he called, I didn't answer. Two days later my grandmother called to tell me they found him in the bathtub (his favorite place in the world). It wasn't ruled a suicide, and to this day I'm the only person who believes it was. I hope it was. I hope he made that final decision himself.

Your children are probably too young for this realization...I was probably too young for it at 26. I didn't want to be the reason someone else lived in constant pain. I didn't want someone tortured on my behalf. I loved him more than that.
