    Redguard's Ethical Poll #001 - The Philanthropist's Child

    Honestly ... I think I would look at the check, then look at the parents and say, "Is this all your child's life is worth to you?" ... No seriously, I would accept it after I made it clear that I didn't expect anything from my actions and (of course) thank them and showed my gratitude. Like...

    I can't do it anymore

    That was perfectly put ... and so true. If we were judged on our works we would all be on the road to Hell. You can't beat yourself up over the past ... we all have one (unfortunately).

    I can't do it anymore

    Man I'm sorry to hear about all your troubles. You seem like a really nice guy and I hate to hear all this you are going through ... I'm praying for you. I really don't know what to say ... all I know that in my life I've endured some valleys, some that I didn't think I would survive but WHEN...

    I'm new, not sure if I should post...

    I feel for you ... it's not the way ANYONE wants to live. As myanchor said, go see your doctor. My wife put it off for so long and now wishes she had done it sooner. I'll say a prayer for you.

    Wife's Depression

    Thank you (and welcome to the forums) ... she did really good after her daughter left, just stayed busy and kept her mind off of things. Plus her daughter calls her (usually) twice a day (in the morning and at night) so that helps alot. She has her days of course, but she's taking her...

    Depression and Work

    When my wife finally went to the doctor we were both aware that for some people medication has no effect ... someone people go through trying various different things (what a pain that would be) ... and it's true, like you said sometimes it just makes things worse. But her doctor told her that...

    Lieing cheating and stealing

    Seems odd you're ordered to stay away from the house. With my situation, I kept the house (on family land and we were surrounded by my family) ... but i was told I couldn't keep her out of the house ... legally until we were seperated the house was still 50% hers. I was told I could change...

    Lieing cheating and stealing

    Try not to worry so much about all she is asking for. As my lawyer told me when I went for my divorce ... "You ask for the moon, knowing full well you're not going to get it but you'll come out of it with alot more than if you just asked for what you thought was 'fair'". Child support is...

    Depression and Work

    Well I think you've got some great advice here already that I would like to back up - studying God's word and striving to be closer to Him and excercise. Also ... you may have already been down this road but, discuss this with your doctor. I'm a firm believer that God gives scientists /...

    The transition of moving

    Hopefully when you find a church / job you'll also find new friends and people you can connect with. Thankfully I've never had to move far from home (I can only imagine how hard it would be if I had too). When we got married my wife just moved in with me and even though her hometown isn't far...

    Depression and Work

    I would love to just say, "You tell me and leave it at that" ... but i don't think that would help. I came to this foum because of my wife's depression ... I don't post outside that thread in the depression section because I have no idea what most of you go through so it doesn't seem like I'm...

    Wife's Depression

    I was asked for an update so here goes ... My wife has been mildly depressed this week but with due reason. When her ex and her seperated my wife got full custody of the daughter and he moved out of state to be closer to family (and the family business where he could make lots of money). Well...

    The First Year of Marriage - Tips? Suggestions?

    How often will the kids be staying with you? That to me was the biggest difference in remarrying. My first wife and I were young so no kids. This go around it's like you say I do and bam! Instant family. Her kids are pretty much on their own and I have mine every other week. It's a good balance...
